描述：
From the kabuki play, " The Story of Sakura of Higashima". The ghosts of Kozakura Togo (historical name was Sakura Sogoro), the village head from Iwahashi, and his collages. Sakura led a group of village leaders who tried to take their complaint directly to the shogunate in Edo. Their local daimyo, Hotta Kozuke, was taxing them beyond their ability to pay. The shogun ignored the villager's plea, and told lord Hotta Kozuke that he had problems at home. Kozuke killed Sogoro. In the kabuki play, Sogoro haunted Kozuke's castle, eventually killing the daimyo's wife and son from fright -- the daimyo himself went crazy in the end.
