浮世絵の幽霊

Butoh-fu

  1. A female ghost is hugging her dead child. She is like a willow in the wind, she is wandering in the air. This ghost becomes another one holding small fireworks. She then becomes a ghost holding a small bowl. This ghost almost disappears into the air. The ghost becomes a separate ghost holding a kimono on her hands stretched out in front. She retreats into the background. This ghost is transfomed into another ghost who is drawing her lips using lip brush, who comes out in front. This ghost becomes another one wandering in the forest. The ghost turns around once, and becomes a ghost attathed to a wooden door on her back. She disappears into the wooden door and the wooden door itself disappears.
  2. A ghost with a paper fan appears. She takes a step forward and becomes a ghost of a big mother. The ghost is wrapped in flower pollen. Out of the pollen, the ghost of the woman with a paper fan reappears. She then becomes a ghost sitting on a bench. She then becomes the ghost of a woman who is fishing. The fishing woman’s ghost becomes like a plume of smoke stretching up into the air. The ghost’s fingertips catch spider’s webs in the air. This ghost becomes a different woman blowing on a glass whistle. This ghost starts disappearing into the air. Then, a ghost with an umbrella appears. She enters a bush. She stops, she becomes more and more transparent, and then disappears.
