Atsumori : PhotoStory

Like the singing of the wild wind, a grass cutter plays a tune on his flute. Rensei notices the beauty of the music.

The grass cutter has ties to Atsumori. To mourn the young man he himself has killed, Rensei prays to Amida Buddha.

“Even without my name being said, you know, don't you?” The person who speaks is not a grass cutter but Atsumori. During the prayer for the repose of the soul, he vanishes.

Atsumori visits Rensei in a dream. He is the warrior of old, the young Heike nobleman.

What does it say, the sound of Atsumori's flute, which echoes to the enemy camp? The sound of the flute carried to the moment of death?

In the dream of Rensei - the enemy Kumagai no Jirō Naozane - the thought of Atsumori is to dance.
