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.
That ghost I saw is your wife, isn't it?
ذلك الشّبح الّذي رأيته هو زوجتك، صحيح؟
Der Geist, den ich sah, war Ihre Frau, oder?
El fantasma que vi era tu esposa, ¿no?
El fantasma que vi era su mujer, ¿no?
C’est le fantôme de votre femme
que j’ai vu,
Il fantasma che ho visto era sua moglie, vero?
O fantasma é sua esposa, não é?
Как я понимаю, тот призрак — 
ваша покойная жена.
