The dragon princess enters carrying a scroll of the Lotus Sutra and a fan. Here she is dressed in split trousers, with a "dragon" headdress, and a Zo no Onna (refined young woman) mask. Her ghost appears right after her son, Fukazaki, promises to have the Lotus Sutra chanted for her repose.

The Zo no Onna mask is used for elegantly beautiful, highly refined women, often supernatural. For example the heavenly moon maiden of Hagoromo (The Feather Robe) and the Dragon Princess in Ama.
