Fujiwara courted MM when she was nineteen by alternately sending her poetry and aggressively pursuing her through her father. Although MM was uneasy about him and his attentions, she was pressured into sending Fujiwara's letters. She remained as distant as she could. When her father left for business and asked Fujiwara to take care of her, Fujiwara married her immediately.
