GAN TSUBUTE (A Goose and a Pebble)

A lord out hunting takes aim at a goose with his bow, but before he shoots, a man passing by drops the bird with a stone. Another man arrives to settle the quarrel, but the lord keeps claiming the goose is his catch.

Learning that her husband Taira no Kiyotsune has drowned himself, his wife is filled with sorrow and resentment. The spirit of Kiyotsune appears to her in a dream and recounts the battles of the Genpei War. An intense shura-noh portraying the tormented soul and profound sense of loss of the warrior Kiyotsune.
