On the night after the funeral of O-Sono, her little son said that his mamma had come back, and was in the room upstairs.

She had smiled at him, but would not talk to him: so he became afraid, and ran away.

Then some of the family went upstairs to the room which had been O-Sono’s;

and they were startled to see, by the light of a small lamp which had been kindled before a shrine in that room, the figure of the dead mother.

A Dead Secret by Lafcadio Hearn

彼らは驚いた。部屋の祭壇前に灯った小さなランプの明かりによって、死んだ母親の姿を見て。

She appeared as if standing in front of a tansu, or chest of drawers, that still contained her ornaments and her wearing-apparel.

オソノはタンスの前に立っているみたいだった。そこにはまだ彼女の装飾品と着物が入っていた。

Her head and shoulders could be very distinctly seen; but from the waist downwards the figure thinned into invisibility;—it was like an imperfect reflection of her, and transparent as a shadow on water.

A Dead Secret by Lafcadio Hearn

オソノの頭と肩はとてもハッキリと見えた。
しかし、その姿は腰の下からおぼろげに薄れていた。不完全な、水に映ったような姿だった。
2-4b
