Yobikoe (Tricked by a Rhythm)

Tarō Kaja’s master comes to visit Tarō Kaja at home to scold him because he left without asking permission. But Tarō Kaja pretends to be out… This play is filled with the charm of Kyogen chants, such as the Heike-bushi melody and the Kouta-bushi melody.

Maki-ginu (The Rolls of Silk)

A man delivering a roll of silk to Kumano Shrine is late because he stops on the way to offer a waka poem at Otonashi Tenjin Shrine. When he is about to be punished for his tardiness, a Shrine Priestess possessed by Otonashi Tenjin appears and saves the man. The highlight of the play is the Shrine Priestess’s kagura dance.
