主人である三郎兵衛を殺害してしまったから。

Ichijuro committed the grave crime of murdering his master, Saburobei. Their affair with Oyumi, Saburobei's concubine, had been exposed, leading him to impulsively turn his blade upon his master. Faced with the stark reality of having taken his master's life, he had no choice but to flee. Escaping Edo with Oyumi, Ichijuro's heart was gradually tormented by guilt during their empty days. Unable to bear the weight of his transgression, he finally resolved to enter the Buddhist priesthood.
