Hungry Ghosts

The Hungry Ghosts was a Rokugani shadow-puppet play often performed during the fall harvest season. It featuref an old man who livef in a haunted house, yet could not see the ghosts that surrounded him. The ghosts continually ate his food and frightened his guests, but the old man remained oblivious. Some puppeteers had run afoul of the law while performing this play, making the old man appear a bit too much like the local lord, and the ghosts resembled problems plaguing the local region — problems that the lord seemed incapable of seeing.
