"Noh", or, Accomplishment : | ||
Umewaka Minoru acted Ono in this play
on March 8, 1899. It is quite usual for an
old actor, wearing a mask, to take the part of
a young woman. There is another play of
Ono and Shosho called Kayoi Komachi, "Komachi
Going"; it is by a Minoru, and Umewaka
acted it on November 19, 1899; and it was
followed by Suma Genji. I shall give both of
these plays complete without further comment.
