Futari-bakama (Two-in-One Hakama)

A newlywed young man and his elder brother pay a ceremonial visit to the father-in-law’s house. However, they only have one ceremonial hakama (traditional Japanese trousers), which should be worn for the occasion. How do the distressed brothers try to resolve their predicament?

Adachigahara (The Adachi Plain)

A woman is spinning yarn in a forlorn hut in Adachigahara in northern Japan. A group of mountain priests traveling through the area request lodging for the night. The woman warns the priests not to look into her bedroom, but… A fierce battle ensues between the female demon and the mountain priests in the last half of the play.
