Takiyasha-hime the Late Edo Sorceress
Spirit / GhostSōma Palace, a fictional setting in a late Edo-period yomihon
Takiyasha-hime is a sorceress shaped by stories of Nun Nyozō and Masakado’s surviving children who took vivid form in Santō Kyōden’s 1806 *Uto Yasukata Chūgiden*. In an 1836 kabuki dance, she disguises herself as the courtesan Kisaragi, while Kuniyoshi’s *Princess Takiyasha Calling up a Monstrous Skeleton Specter at the Old Palace in Soma* portrays her confronting Mitsukuni beside a gigantic skeleton.
