Sanemori : PhotoStory

An old man who comes every day for sermons at Shinohara in Kaga Province informs the priest that he is actually the ghost of Sanemori.

The ghost of Sanemori tells of his attachment to this world. By the pond, he turns into a phantom and vanishes.

The priest holds a special all-night memorial service for Sanemori.

Yoshinaka Kiso sees the head of defeated Sanemori and thinks it odd that the hair is black. The head is washed at the shore of the lake.

When the head is washed in the lake, black ink runs out, revealing hair as white as willow or moss.

Sanemori and Mitsumori Tezuka fall from their horses together, but the elderly Sanemori is exhausted and his head is cut off.

His confession over, Sanemori chants to Amida Buddha and asks the priest to pray for him.
