About this work
A young man places offerings on a table next to images of his parents. The man is Tomo no Atai Ienushi, who after the death of his parents, out of respect would have cut out their portraits and there offered four times a day. This story occurs in the Shoku Nihonkôki, compiled in 869 and one of the Six National Histories of Japan. With one poem about the New Year.
