Fujiwara no Yasumasa (958-1036) was a celebrated poet in the Heian court.
At this time, the Heian court was in decline, and banditry and disorder were increasing in the countryside.
One moonlit night, as Yasumasa was strolling along the roadway on the lonely moor of Ichiharano,
the bandit Hakamadare Yasusuke lay in wait,to ambush and rob him.
As Yasumasa drew closer, the sound of his flute enchanted the highwayman,
who was to draw his sword, entirely charmed by the power of music . . . .
