Summary:
Set in the 12th century, this puppet play, written by Takeda Izumo, Miyoshi Shōraku, and Namiki Sōsuke in 1747, takes place following the Genpei War. The Heike clan has been defeated at several important battles and Lord Yoritomo, of the opposing Genji, has established himself as shogun. But his younger half-brother, Yoshitsune, has also been very successful in battle, causing Yoritomo to become bitterly jealous. Yoritomo therefore turns against Yoshitsune and determines to capture him, forcing Yoshitsune to run away in an attempt to escape his brother's men.
