背負った(せおった)女(おんな)が「鬼(おに)」に見えて(みえて)絞め殺した(しめころした)が、最後は(さいごは)自分も(じぶんも)桜の(さくらの)静寂に(せいじゃくに)消えていった

Under the forest where the cherry blossom blizzard danced, the bandit suddenly realizes that the woman he is carrying is not his beautiful wife, but a terrifying 'oni' (demon) trying to destroy him. Out of extreme fear, he chokes her to death. Once the demon dies, there was only the beautiful woman's corpse and scattering cherry petals left. The bandit also gets buried under the cherry petals and disappears into the infinite silence—a ultimate masterpiece fully fusing beauty and horror.
