MK-26, Aoinoue (A Noh play). Aoinoue,
from "The Tale of Genji" a Hikaru Genji's legal wife was
ill in bed, her doctors or monks could not find what was wrong.
A Miko (a maid in the service of a shrine) was consulted and found
that was an act by Hikaru Genji's former love Rokujo-no Miyasudokoro
as she came with worn vehicle to Aoinoue's bedside and harassed
her trying to take her to the other world, but the ghost was finally
defeated by an ascetic's pray. All the clothing and flame are Taka
Maki-e.
Design on the section is Hira Maki-e.
