KAKUSHI-DANUKI (Hiding the Badger)
Taro Kaja has secretly caught a badger and is hiding it behind his back to prevent his master from discovering it. Will Taro Kaja be able to keep his secret despite his master’s stratagems?
SHAKKYO (The Stone Bridge)
Priest Jakusho meets an old man beside the stone bridge at Mount Qingliang in the country of Tang. After explaining that Manjusri’s paradise lies beyond the bridge, but the bridge is narrow and covered over with slippery moss and straddles a deep ravine, such that no ordinary trainee priest can cross it with ease, the old man disappears. Eventually, father and son lion spirits appear and give a dynamic dance performance among the peony flowers.
