YOKOZA (A Cow Named Sideseat)

A man who finds a cow is told by the cattleman that it is, in fact, his cow. As proof of this, the cattleman says that the cow will moo if he calls out “Yokoza,” the cow’s name, but… This is a little row about ownership.

GIO (Lady Gio)

The shirabyoshi dancer Hotoke-gozen visits Taira no Kiyomori, but as Kiyomori has already bestowed his favor on the Lady Gio, he refuses to meet her. Encouraged to meet Hotoke-gozen by Gio, Kiyomori gradually falls in love with Hotoke-gozen, who pledges friendship with Gio out of sympathy for her. The high point of the play is the dance duet by the two dancing ladies.
