Yoshitsune's Ghost
"Yoshitsune's Ghost" is a famous Japanese tale about the spirit of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a legendary warrior from the late Heian period. After his death, his ghost is said to wander the mountains, seeking revenge against those who betrayed him, particularly his brother, Minamoto no Yoritomo. The story reflects themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the supernatural.
The tale has inspired various forms of art, including literature, theater, and visual arts. It is often depicted in Noh and Kabuki performances, where the haunting presence of Yoshitsune's ghost serves as a reminder of the tragic consequences of conflict and ambition in feudal Japan.
