Description : Abe Yasuna (right) rescued a fox in distress. Later a young woman named Kuzunoha visited his house. They married and had a child. But the call from the wilderness was so strong that she had to go back to the nature. Here, she holds her sleeping child and writes a farewell poem on a shoji-screen while Yasuna is looking in. She leaves her child and husband and returns to her home in the wilderness.
