Katsusaburo tells Seiji about a young cook from his estate named Tokubei who has recently opened up his own shop, and, as a way to celebrate his success, Katsusaburo hopes to borrow some items from the Izumo-ya to decorate Tokubei's shop. The tsukumogami who are lent to Tokubei's shop, the Tsuru-ya, come back with reports of a mysterious female ghost haunting the property. As the search is on to find out more about the identity of the female ghost, the tragic details of Tokubei's sad past come to light.
He said that the ghost started 
appearing after the great fire,
،قال إنّ الشّبح بدأ يظهر بعد الحريق الكبير
Der Geist soll nach dem
großen Feuer erschienen sein
Dijo que el fantasma
empezó a aparecer tras el gran incendio,
Dijo que el fantasma
empezó a aparecer tras el gran incendio,
Un fantôme qui apparaît
après le grand incendie…
Il fantasma ha iniziato 
ad apparire dopo il grande incendio
Se o fantasma começou a
aparecer depois do incêndio,
Значит, призрак
появился сразу же после пожара.
