NIWATORI MUKO (The Rooster Son-in-Law)
A newly married groom is tricked into thinking that it is proper to imitate a chicken when he visits his father-in-law for the first time. Unaware, the groom does as he was told when he greeted his wife’s father. Realizing the young man’s error and not wishing to shame him, the father does the unusual.
KINTOZAEMON (Bandit Kintozaemon)
A bandit named Kintozaemon ambushes a woman passing by and takes her bag of belongings. While he gleefully examines his loot, the woman shows her gumption and takes things into her own hands.
HUKUBE NO SHIN (The God of the Gourd)
Beating gourds while begging for alms and selling bamboo tea whisks, “Bowl Beater” monks pay homage to the Gourd God at Kitano Shrine in Kyoto. Keeping time on their gourds and alms bowls, they sing and dance. This unusual play depicts a scene from medieval Japan and recaptures the practices and performances of these monks.
