The evil Lord Kuronushi had a plan to usurp the power of the emperor. In order to ensure the success of his plan, he decided to build a shrine from the wood of an ancient cherry tree. The spirit of the tree appeared to him in the form of the enchanting beauty Kurozome and seduced him, convincing him to share his plan with her. After exposing his intentions, the beauty disappeared and was replaced by an evil spirit who thwarted Kuronushi’s plan. A fantastic design of the young beauty. As a spirit she has no feet, floating above the ground, her beautiful kimono fading into the atmosphere. A shower of delicate cherry blossom petals falls through the evening sky. An exceptional design and a favorite from the series, beautifully detailed with embossing on the white collar and the pale blue obi.
