[Section I: Iwami Kagura] Nô Dances
Mt. Tsukuba


In the mid-Heian Period, Taira no Masakado's servant is attacked by Fujiwara Hidesato and Taira no Sadamori. She fights back and then flees to Mt. Tsukuba, where she masters witchcraft and becomes a she-devil. She changes herself into a court servant and marches into Fujiwara's headquarters, intending to force him to drink poisoned saké. But due to the benevolence of the god Futara, she never reaches her destination and instead returns to Mt. Tsukuba.
