Takiyasha chants:
I summon thee oh spectre
To terrify him
Scream, Mitsukuni,
For I am the sorceress
Who'll get what she wants
(The image is a ukiyo-e triptych woodblock print by Kuniyoshi Utagawa called Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre depicting the 10th century legend of the Princess Takiyasha who summons a giant skeleton to scare Mitsukuni. )
