Atsumori (World Literature Website)The priest Rensei (formerly the warrior Kumagai of the Genji/Minamoto clan) returns to the site of a battle (Ichi-no-Tani) where he killed Atsumori (a warrior of the Heike/Taira clan). Regretting the killing, Rensei prays for the soul of Atsumori. The ghost of Atsumori appears to Rensei. Though angry at Rensei and about to strike him with a sword, the ghost of Atsumori is appeased by Rensei's prayers and the two are reconciled.
