'Yendo draws his sword, when between him and the victim of his vengeance there darts the lovely Kesa', 1919. 'He raises his sword and seizes his aunt again, but he has no time to strike: the sliding of a screen, the rustle of a woman's silken garments, and between Yendo and the victim of his vengeance there darts the lovely Kesa - his arm is stayed by her small hand, and, tremulous with agitation, a voice he has longed to hear for many lonely years says: "Spare my poor old mother!" Illustration to "The Tragedy of Kesa Gozen", a story in "Romances of Old Japan", by Madame Yukio Ozaki. [Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd, London, 1919]
