History

The prostitute Umegawa is the model for Chikamatsu Monzaemon's ``Meidou no Hikyaku''. Chubei commits a deadly crime and runs away, and is soon imprisoned. It is said that Chubei vanished in the dew at the execution site, and Umegawa spent more than 50 years of repentance before being buried at Seijyo-ji Temple.
