"Tsuki Hyakushi; Oboroyo no Tsuki" (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon; Hazy-night Moon). Kumasaka was a robber-bandit priest who was killed by Yoshitsune in 10th Century. In the noh play, "Kumasaka", his ghost appeared in a dream of a travelling priest. He asked the priest to pray for him so that he could be salvaged from the evil past.
