Tooru no Daijin no rei 融の大臣の霊 ghost of Minamoto no Toru // ikan 衣冠 robes for normal working
Most of the stories of ghosts are about people becoming ghosts and appearing as a dokuro 髑髏 skull.
In the old records Nihon Ryoiki, they were represented as dokuro 髑髏 skull. In the Heian period they were seen as the humans in their former life. When 宇多院 Emperor Uda (867 - 931) went to 河原院 Kawara-In, the former owner 源融公 Minamoto no Toru appeared in ikan 衣冠 formal working robes as a ghost to greet the visitor.

Nihon Ryoiki 日本霊異記 by 中田祝夫 Nakada Norio (1915 - 2010)
- quote -
Nihon Ryōiki (日本霊異記)
is an early Heian period setsuwa collection. Written by Kyōkai between 787 and 824, it is Japan's oldest collection of Buddhist setsuwa. It is three volumes in length.
Commonly abbreviated as Nihon Ryōiki, which means "Record of Miraculous Events in Japan," the full title is Nihonkoku Genpō Zen'aku Ryōiki (日本国現報善悪霊異記). It may also be read as Nihon Reiiki. The book has been translated into English under the title Miraculous Stories from the Japanese Buddhist Tradition, but this does not represent a literal translation of the Japanese title.
The work is composed of three parts contained within three volumes. Each volume begins with a preface, and the final volume contains an epilogue. There are a total of 116 tales all dealing with Buddhist elements. There are also a total of nine poems.
