Since Kiyomori moved the capital to Fukuhara, there have been no peaceful days, and he has been obsessed with various delusions.
One winter day, when the Clan Roh Party was watching Yukimi at the mansion in Fukuhara, the trees in the garden became countless large and small skulls and attacked Kiyomori. A particularly large skull appears in the skull, and on top of that, the ghost of Minamoto no Yoshihira, who was defeated in the “Heiji Rebellion,” threatens Kiyomori. When Kiyomori glared at the ghost, the ghost disappeared in fear.
