The Demon of Suzaku Gate
Heian Period Japan. Hanamaro covets the Biwa Master's biwa, and makes friends with his daughters. He slips off with the biwa, but Tsuki-hime pursues him relentlessly. When she catches up with him, Hanamaro drugs her and slips away again. When he tries to play it, a voice announces that the biwa chooses its master and will play for no other. In a rage, Hanamaro throws the biwa away, and it disappears. He learns that it is past the Suzaku Gate, and goes to fetch it....
