安徳天皇の墓の前で、無数の鬼火に囲まれながら琵琶を弾き狂う芳一の姿

Sensing something strange in Hoichi's nightly disappearances, the temple servants of Amidaji pursued him on a night of pouring rain. There, they witnessed a terrifying, shocking sight. In front of the imperial tomb of Emperor Antoku, the graveyard of the Heike clan, Hoichi was playing the Biwa like one possessed, surrounded by countless demon fires (onibi). He had not been summoned to a human mansion, but by the vengeful ghosts of the Heike.
