'Ogura Hyakunin Isshu' is a classical Japanese anthology of one hundred Japanese waka poems by one hundred poets. The poems were often a source of inspiration for many woodblock print artists who borrowed elements, places and characters from those mentioned in the verses. Very often, their interpretation would show the creativity of the artist and their ability to take inspiration from classical literature and reinterpret it for a new audience.
The print depicts the ghost of Sasaki no Kiyotaka, who was forced to commit suicide by the Emperor Go-Daigo in Kyoto. His ill-considered political advice had led to the refuge of the Emperor to a temporary palace. Kiyotaka's ghost followed and terrorised the court-in-exile. The only one who dared to oppose him was fearless Iga no Tsubone. She was said to enable another escape of the Emperor by falling a tree to bridge a ravine. Determined enough, the court lady forces him to vanish forever.
