The questions are based on a document called "Enma-cho", which is a record of a person's conduct during his life, and is used as trial material. Even if there is something that the accused wants to hide from Enma, there is a mirror in which his actions during his life are reflected, so he cannot deceive himself in any way. The mirror is called Jyohari-mirror.

We walked thence through fields to Dogo for a bath. The wheat is just fruiting.1) Sugiura San, an expert guide, did not take me the usual way to the bath house, but turned up toward a shrine, and then told me that there was a nice place just to the right. The narrow way led to an Eden, except that fruits were absent. Hidden in the little valley were score2) of rustic summerhouses3), some of them built right over the stream. There were quaint4) bridges; arbors5), covered by the beautiful blue blossoming wisteria that hung in long bunches; rockeries6) and alleys7) winding amid shrubs and flowers.
