Monju Maruten Momoyama Ayaginu Tan (Holly)

[Machine Translation] One spring during the Heian period (794-1185), a white bird began to appear in the woods near Zuicho-ji Temple on Mt. To their dismay, the bird chirped the name of Monjyumaru night after night. The monks, fearing that the bird might be possessed by a spirit of the dead, asked Fuyugen to take control of the bird. Ruriwaka and Uro go out to watch the bird with great interest. This is a story of love that depicts, with a tender eye, the hearts of those in love, parents, and children, as well as the hearts that forgive and accept others.
