the old oak

...the old oak that grew next to the house and whose roots unfortunately grew into the basement -has come down.  In one of the stories in Kwaidan a samurai meets an exceedingly lovely charming girl in the forest.  He falls in love with her and she comes to live with him for five wonderful years -but then she dies and in his sorrow he wanders in the forest where he met her.  He realizes he is at the place where they met though it is confusing for the extraordinarily beautiful tree she sat under when he first saw her is cut down and all is gone...
