Seigen was the abbot of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, and Sakurahime was the beautiful daughter of a wealthy family. One day, when Sakurahime visited Kiyomizu temple to view the cherry blossoms, she and Seigen met. It was love at first sight. Seigen was compelled to break his vows and was consequently expelled from the temple. In this print, Sakurahime has died but continues to haunt Seigen.
