Tsukimi Zatō (The Moon-Viewing Blind Man)
On the night of the harvest moon, a blind man comes out into a field to listen to the songs of the insects. There, he enjoys drinking sake for a while with a man who has come to view the moon…
Kogō (Lady Kogō)
On the night of the harvest moon in Sagano, Lady Kogō plays the koto as she longs for Emperor Takakura. Guided by the sound of the koto, Minamoto no Nakakuni delivers a message to Lady Kogō from the palace. This play is based on The Tale of the Heike.
