English: The demoness at left is, in fact, a high-ranking woman who has turned to cannibalism in order to aid the lord of her district. He requires the blood of children as a remedy for a disease from which he suffers. When wandering priests seek refuge from a storm in the old woman's house, they discover a room filled with human bones and splattered with blood. They decide to flee, but the woman returns, assumes a demonic form, and chases them. Kogyo represents the moment when the priests turn and try to exorcize the pursuing demon by chanting invocations and rubbing rosary beads.
