After Yasuda Shoji Tomoharu of Shinano Province was killed by Mochizuki Akinaga of the same province, his vassal Ozawa Ozabu Tomofusa became the owner of an inn in Moriyama, Omi Province. Tomoharu's wife and her child Hanawaka came to stay at the inn after a long journey, and Tomofusa was reunited with him. By chance, Mochizuki also happened to be staying at the same inn, so Tomoharu's wife disguised herself as Motogozen and sang in front of Mochizuki, while Hanawaka played the eight-horn drum and Tomofusa himself performed a lion dance, waiting for Mochizuki's opportunity to finally take revenge.
