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.
but when I died, I still had 
unfinished business in this world,
وعندما متّ، كان ما زال لديّ عمل 
،غير منتهٍ في هذا العالم
doch ich verstarb unverrichteter Dinge
pero cuando morí
todavía tenía asuntos pendientes
pero al morir me quedaron
asuntos pendientes
mais j’étais
si attaché à ce bas monde
ma, alla mia morte, avevo ancora
 delle questioni irrisolte,
mas quando morri deixei coisas
mal resolvidas neste mundo,
но умер, не успев завершить свои дела.
