Wind in the Pine Trees (Matsukaze)

This surimono depicts a travelling priest praying at Suma Bay for the souls of Matsukaze and Murasame, two sisters who were loved by the exiled courtier Yukihira. The ghost of Matsukaze appears to the priest, bemoans her bygone love and dances in Yukihira’s robes which he left with the sisters before returning to Kyoto.
