Description:
"Gekko Zuihitsu" (Gekko's Essay) The legend said that an old woman served a lord who had a strange disease. The only cure was the blood of children born in a certain month. The woman roamed the country side killing children to obtain blood for her lord. When he had recovered, she confessed how she obtained the cure and was pardoned.
