EMA (The Votive Tablets)

Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess, appears at the Ise Grand Shrine with two other gods, Ameno Uzumeno Mikoto and Tajikara Ono Mikoto, who together enact the myth of Amano Iwato. A Noh play of jubilee and celebration for a world at peace.

A horse merchant and an ox merchant compete to see who is more worthy of the right to set up shop at a newly established marketplace. Enjoy the acting out of the slow-footed ox and the nimble horse.
