Kabuki dance piece. Tokiwazu. Original title: "Shinobiyoru Koi Hakusemono (Shinobiyoru Koi Hakusemono)". Adapted by Takada Jusuke from Santo Den's "Uto Yasukata Tadayoshiden" and composed by Kishizawa Shikisa 5th. First performed in July 1836 at Ichimuraza as the first important piece of "Yoni Uto Souma no Furugosho (Yoni Uto Souma no Furugosho)". Takiyashahime, the daughter of Taira no Masakado, who plots a rebellion, disguises herself as a prostitute named Kisaragi and tries to charm Oya Taro Mitsukuni, who has sneaked in to investigate, to her side, but Mitsukuni sees through her and the two end up fighting. The piece is packed with various highlights, including Kisaragi's kudoki (a tale of a robber), Mitsukuni's narration, a brothel tale, hand dancing, and the collapse of a float.
