Japanese Folklore: During the reign of Ingenio, which began in 901 AD, there lived a man whose name has since been held by his works are beautiful, poetic, and others. It was a great favorite of the emperor, and so he was a strong day, his name is Sugawara Michizane. Needless to say, it was not long before all these things in his favor, he was head of government, living in luxury.

went bad for some time, but the inevitable happened. Not everyone agrees with his ideas or Michizane policy. Secret enemies hiding around every corner. Among them was a bad man, attracted special Tokihiro which are toxic to the court intrigues were constant.

Tokihiro served in government under Michizane, and hated in his heart, thinking that if I could, but the mechanisms to curry favor with the emperor Michizane bad, he can become head of government.

Michizane was a man she could find little fault to find Tokihiro could not find a reason to start badly of him, but eventually he became more determined to cause harm to the end.

To get a chance. Tokihiro had a lot of undercover agents trying to find something that was reported to the emperor against Michizane heard the statement that Prince currents (Toki no miya) falls secretly in love with the beautiful daughter of Michizane and held secret meetings.

Tokihiro was delighted with the news and immediately went to the Emperor, who received him, she learned to tell more intrigue.

“Your Majesty,” said Tokihiro, ‘I regret to say that this is a serious argument. Sugawara Michizane arranged so that the younger brother of His Majesty the Prince’s current love with his daughter. I regret a lot to say, held a secret meeting. In addition, Michizane, the Prime Minister of Her Majesty, it is surprising that His Majesty may be killed or, at least for the current, the deposed prince who must marry the daughter of Michizane.

Of course, that the Emperor was furious Engi. It was a good king and sound, and was ruled the city through Michizane, fair, firm and good. Michizane was considered a personal friend, and think of Michizane his conspiracy to murder, or at least as fascinating as the Prince in the current place on the throne and marry her daughter, the prince was more than I could.

He sent Michizane.

Michizane protested his innocence. True said that the prince was in love with the daughter, but not too surprised. Her daughter was beautiful, the prince, and was basically the same age, and saw many things from each other since childhood. Now he is old, they discovered that their friendship turned into love. That’s all. It was not easy for a prince of royal blood to meet the lady of his heart as openly as other authorities, and, probably, was found by his daughter said. As noted Tokihiro plot, which was absolutely fantastic, and I was surprised to hear such heinous accusations.

Tokihiro perceived temperament of the emperor. According to find a strong and unscrupulous, who violate the protests Michizane Michizane unhappy and the Emperor ordered to be sent to the rest of his life Tsukushi, on the island of Kyushu.

, Michizane was sent only if accompanied by his faithful servant Matsuo. Michizane’s punishment, unjust as it was, broke employment, many others. Have been dismissed all those who have been closely associated with him. Among them was Genzo Takebayashi, who was one of the principal assistants Michizane. Genzo Michizane was a student of literature, and is therefore not surprising that the loss of Genzo fled in a small town, and took responsibility Michizane Kanshusai wife and young son, aged ten years. Everything changed their names, and Genz, support them and their families, established a small school.

Thus, for which he was for some time Kanshusai escaped the evil designs against his life was programmed Tokihiro.

Matsuo, faithful servant, who followed his master into exile Michizane, learned of the plot to kill the infamous son of his master, and after many days tired of thinking how I can avoid it understood that one way would be to sacrifice his son instead .

First, he told his master drove his intention, and after obtaining the permission he returned to Kyoto, and has sought Tokihiro himself, who offered their services, as well as official and as a hunter son of Michizane Kanshusai. Tokihiro easily hired, thinking that is sure to find the child, whom she hopes will be beheaded. Tokihiro Michizane took place for the emperor, and was a great power, his will was almost immediately.

Thus Matsuo play a role in the country and among his servants Tokihiro, it was not long before they all agree that Matsuo was more faithful to his new master, and he was deeply believes in it.

Soon after it became known Tokihiro Kanshusai was hidden under a different name, school, belonging to Genzo. Genzo was ordered to send the child’s head on Tokihiro within forty-eight hours.

Matsuo, always faithful, hearing this, went to school Genzo in a suit and meet the teacher, who easily nodded, his plan to rescue Kanshusai. Matsuo then sent his son to school Qatar Genzo, from which he never returned alive, the poor, and good (in all its honor I must say) Genzo did not kill this child, nerves steeled for his old teacher and life Kanshusai.

With one stroke of the sword, took the head of the innocent.

When Tokihiro designated by the school called her, and took him to Tokihiro, saying: “Now, Lord Tokihiro, there is no fear for the future of his son Michizane, here is the head of the box. See!” But the teacher Genzo Takebayashi, following the orders of Your Excellency and Polishing .

Tokihiro was happy, but not quite sure that his head was right: Yes, I know that Matsuo was previously used Michizane, and should know if they were head Kanshusai or not, “she said, ordered him to take his head out the window and identify it.

Poor Matsuo! Imagine feeling to look at her only son of Qatar in the field and keep him by the hair and ensure Tokihiro Lord, that this was the main Kanshusai, son of Michizane’S! He, however, with large nerve and the magnificent fortress, Kanshusai saving lives and fulfilling their responsibilities in relation to his master Michizane exiled.

Matsuo loyalty still adored by those who know history.

Shortly after the terrible storm of Kyoto. Ray Tokihiro through the palace, and killed him. Today, they say that a spirit of Michizane beam down form of revenge. Japanese Folklore
