The mansion is inhabited by the Himuro family with the infamous “strangulation” ritual that takes place every 50 years. The purpose of the ritual is to seal the “evil energy” into the earth, which through a gate located at the mansion enters the mortal realm.. To prevent this, the owner of the mansion will choose a young woman from at birth and in solitary confinement throughout adulthood in order to avoid any “binding” to the human world. At the appointed time, the legs, neck and arms of the young woman will be tied with ropes to the horse… just like the form of punishment of “five horses and corpses” that appeared in ancient Chinese movies. After the body was dismembered, ropes soaked in blood were spread in front of the gate… and according to the Himuro clan, would prevent evil spirits from entering the world.​

However, the ritual soon ran into trouble when the young girl had a romantic relationship with a man, thereby breaking the whole “not tied to the physical world” rule of the sacrifice. The owner of the mansion as soon as he heard about it, took up a sword to kill all the family and commit suicide, with fear of harming the scene that would happen when the ritual was not completed.
