'Her ghastly face and blood-stained garments struck terror to the souls of the petrified spectators', 1919. '...the bride's sumptuously lacquered kago appeared, surrounded by a numerous retinue, carrying lanterns and torches. Suddenly, an unearthly gust of cold wind arose whirling wildly...and all the lights were extinguished. In the dense gloom of that moonless night, what was the terror of everyone to behold in front of them, barring the way before the passage of the bride, the spectre of the deserted mistress! Shrouded in a cloud of pale-bluish mist...her long dishevelled hair streamed behind her in the breeze, which was not of this world, and her hands were uplifted in menace towards the bride, from whose kago a wild and heartpiercing shriek was heard.' Illustration to "How Kinu Returned from the Grave", a story in "Romances of Old Japan", by Madame Yukio Ozaki. [Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd, London, 1919]
