The Degradation of Seigen (1887) by Taiso Yoshitoshi
Seigen was abbot of the Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto. After a lifetime of piety, he fell in love with a beautiful courtesan. The scandal rocked Kyoto. She died and he went mad, wearing her robe in the streets. Here he clutches the robe, from which her spirit emanates. | Located in: Private Collection.
