Commentary
In this scene, Ono no Komachi’s ghost asks the Buddhist monk (shown at right) to pray for her rebirth in the Pure Land, but Fukakusa no Shosho’s spirit, filled with anger and regret over his failed efforts to win her, grabs Komachi’s sleeve and declares he won’t let her go. The inset inscription records his lines that he will be like a steadfast dog following his earthly desires and will never leave her side; the second inset shows an angry dog.
