Print subject: Jo 尉 and Uba 姥, the spirits of the wedded pine trees of Takasago 高砂 and Sumiyoshi 住吉, symbols of eternal fidelity
Jo and Uba [...] fell in love when they were young and lived a long life together. Such was their devotion to each other that even in death, their spirits then went to reside in two ancient pine trees, symbols of longevity. On moonlit nights, they returned to human form to rake pine needles on the shore. (source: Japanese Gallery Kensington)
