主人から(しゅじんから)免職(めんしょく)(クビ)されたばかりの「下人(げにん)」(雇われ人)

'Rashomon' is a monument of modern Japanese literature written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa in the Taisho period, depicting the conflict between the ultimate desire for survival and egoism. In Kyoto, completely devastated by famine and whirlwind, a servant who had just been dismissed by his master was sheltering from a violent evening shower under the ruins of Rashomon.
