Object Description
Lady Iga was in service to Emperor GoDaigo (1288-1339), who was exiled to the mountains of Yoshino where he established an alternative imperial court. His palace there was haunted by the ghost of Sasaki Kiyotada, who had been executed after poorly advising the emperor. Iga no tsubone courageously confronted the spirit, which then did not return. Inset: Lady Iga shows great physical strength by felling a tree.
