The wife of a samurai, who was leading a happy life, dies in a fit of wind. On the verge of death, she makes her husband promise that she will not take a second wife, and is buried in a corner of the garden, as he had wished, but of course the second wife comes. At the celebration, the husband is immediately smitten with his new wife, but the spirit begins to haunt him from the seventh day.
