kubi 首 a head
One evening in winter, a young Samurai named 惣助 Sosuke walked from 荒町 Aramachi
on his way home past 眞福寺 the Temple Shinpuku-Ji.
Near the temple gate he met a beautiful woman. She begged him:
"I am the mistress of a man, who said he would killl me tonight. Please help me!"
The Samurai said he would help and went on home.
That night when he was in bed he heard a voice from the river:
"Help me, help me!"
He got up and went out, where he saw the head of a woman fly to the sky.
