The work captures a touching historical scene featuring Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his loyal retainers fleeing to the north disguised as itinerant mountain monks (yamabushi) to escape Minamoto no Yoritomo. Along their journey, they stop by the home of the deceased brothers Sato Tsugunobu and Tadanobu—loyal retainers who sacrificed their lives for Yoshitsune—where they are warmly received and cared for by the brothers' elderly mother.
