娘(むすめ)を犠牲に(ぎせいに)した罪の(つみの)意識(いしき)と悲しみ(かなしみ)から、翌晩(よくばん)に首を吊って(くびをつって)自殺した(じさつした)

Yoshihide's soul was snatched by the horrific beauty of his daughter burning to death; rising beyond his grief as a father, he immersed himself in drawing with a look of 'ecstasy as a genius painter' (devotion to art). Although he brilliantly completed his highest masterpiece, the 'Hell Screen' (Jigokuhen), the following night, out of the sin he committed and his love for his daughter, he hanged himself in his room. A terrifying yet beautiful, immortal gothic literature of a man who sacrificed his life to complete art.
