Ashiraide - Arashiride

There are many kinds of deitagoto, but they can be broadly divided into three categories: o-komono (large-scale plays) played mainly with o-tsuzumi and ko-tsuzumi drums, taikomono (drum-playing plays) which also include taiko drums, and other plays. O-komono includes the most commonly used shidai (stage plays) for a variety of roles, including men and women (except for the elderly), nobles and common people, and monks and laypeople; shin-no-shidai (sincerity plays) in which the waki and wakizure of waki-noh play make a dashing appearance, as in Arashiyama, Kamo, and Takasago; itsei (a single voice) for characters such as incarnations, ghosts, and spirits, as well as shin-no-ichi-sei (sincerity plays) in which the mae-jite and tsure of waki-noh play such as the elderly make a solemn appearance; and ashirai-de (a play in which the shite appears without anyone noticing, as in Kinuta and Kumano). Taikomono include "Deha," used for the entrance of non-human characters such as gods, Buddhas, devils, and spirits, as in "Ama," "Satsushoseki," and "Nomori," "Oobeshi," in which tengu and other deities with strange features appear in a grand manner, as in "Kurama Tengu," "Sagariha," in which heavenly immortals appear elegantly, as in "Shojo" and "Xiwangmu," and "Shinnoraijo," used for the entrance and seating of Tang Dynasty emperors, as in "Kantan" and "Tsurukame."
