Nushi (The Lacquerer)

The wife of the lacquerer Heiroku tells a master craftsman who has come from the capital to look for work that Heiroku has died… The important part to listen out for is the narration that likens the realm of hungry ghosts to lacquerware.

Sumida-gawa (The Sumida River)

Searching for her kidnapped son, a mother from the capital travels to the Sumida River in Musashi Province. What is the unspeakably cruel fate that awaits her at the end of her journey? This famous play, based on the Tales of Ise, was written by Kanze Motomasa.
