On New Year's Eve, a poor couple struggles to bring in the new year.  A woman is told not to let the fire go out on New Year's Eve, but...  Minokichi and Mokichi take shelter from the blizzard, when a mysterious woman appears before them.
It was a memorial fire 
for a funeral procession.
Era una antorcha de un desfile de un funeral.
Era la antorcha de la comitiva de un funeral.
Era um fogo memorial
de uma procissão de um funeral.
