Nijō commands his best archer, Minamoto no Yorimasa, to go slay the beast. Since no medicinal or spiritual remedies have any effect on him, he and his advisers deem it a curse brought on by the supernatural figure of the Nue. After the arrival of this ominous figure, the emperor at the time, Nijō, becomes seriously ill. In the text, it describes a mysterious cloud of black smoke and a haunting voice. It is most commonly depicted as having an ape's face, the body of a tiger, and a snake for a tail. This chimeric creature is straight out of The Tale of the Heike - the nearly a millennium-old Japanese epic poem.
