Commentary
This is a play about loneliness, yearning, and persistent love. The print depicts the moment when Lady Izutsu, the daughter of Ki no Aritsune and the wife of Ariwara no Narihira, appears as a ghost. Rather than wearing a traditional woman’s costume, she is wearing her husband’s headdress and noshi (a man’s imperial court kimono). Thus dressed, the ghost of Lady Izutsu moves aside the autumn grasses to look into the well, searching for her husband’s reflection
