Yuureiyado no Aruji

Master of the Haunted Inn introduces us to a young man sometime in middle Meiji-- the late 1880s or early 1890s. He owns an inn where people are said to be able to see the ghosts of their loved ones. To this place comes a young woman who was married to a man she'd never seen before, an invalid whose dying wish was to wed her. He died on the same day as they met. Even with this history, she feels herself his wife and desires earnestly to see him again. In other stories we have lovers yearning for a last meeting, a little girl out looking for her father, and a young temple servant, dead many centuries, who cannot rest in peace.
