[Synopsis] A traveling yamabushi (mountain ascetic) arrives at Mt. Katsuragi in Yamato and it begins to snow. A village woman appears and entertains the yamabushi by a bonfire. The woman asks him to perform a prayer. She reveals that she is bound by vines and suffering, and then disappears, revealing herself to be the deity of Mt. Katsuragi. That night, as the yamabushi performs the prayer, the deity of Mt. Katsuragi appears, expresses her joy at being freed from suffering, dances the Yamato dance, and disappears into a rock cave.
