Catalog note / 解説

While general Minamoto general Yoshitsune was sailing on Daimotsu-ga-ura Bay in Soshu in 1188, the chilling ghosts of the fallen Heike clan emerge from the ocean bottom and attack Yoshitsune's boat. Benkei, Yoshitsune and his retainers confront them fearlessly to throw them back to the ocean. The ghost of Taira general Tomomori appears in the middle.
