Ogre of Rashomon

“Long, long ago in Kyoto, the people of the city were terrified by accounts of a dreadful ogre, who, it was said, haunted the Gate of Rashomon at twilight and seized whoever passed by…” 


Watanabe and his samurai companions take great pride in defeating any foe – human or otherwise.  When they hear an ogre is terrifying the people of Rashomon, Watanabe can’t believe it.  A challenge is made to Watanabe to spend the night at the Gate of Rashomon and see for himself if the ogre exists – a challenge he readily accepts.  But will Watanabe live to regret this challenge?
