Act 9 , The Quiet Retreat in Yamashina (161-1-9, 161-2-5)
HonzoÕs wife Tanase accompanies her daughter Konami, and conveys the message that she wants Konami married to Rikiya, but YuranosukeÕs wife Oishi refuses. Honzo in the form of a mendicant Zen monk appears before the mother and daughter who have decided to die, and speaks ill of Oboshi and the others, only to be struck by RikiyaÕs spear and die. He reveals his true heart in his dying breath, and entrusting a map of MoronaoÕs mansion to his daughter Konami, Honzo dies.
The print shows the scene where Honzo restrained by Oishi is stabbed by RikiyaÕs spear.
