Description
Summary of the play: Two traveling priests are given shelter for the night in the house of a poor woman at Kurozuka in Adachigahara. When she leaves them to collect firewood, she warns them not to look into her room, but the priest's servant is unable to restrain his curiosity. The horrifying things he sees there convince the priests that they are in the house of a devil. The woman then appears as an angry demon, but is finally overcome by the power of the priests. ©P.G.
