tsukimizato Shite BLIND MAN Ado PASSER-BY A Blind Man goes out mono-viewing alone on the night of August 15th which is considered the best night of the year for moon-viewing. Since he can't see the moon, he enjoys himself listening to the sounds of various insects. A Passer-by who has come out moonviewing sees the Blind Man, and asks him what he is doing. They begin talking, exchange poems, and the Passer-by offers the Blind Man a drink. The more they drink, the more friendly they get. They sing and dance for each other, and finally they go their separate ways, seemingly fast friends and in a happy mood. The Passer-by decides to tease the Blind Man a little, so he goes back and bumps into him on purpose, they argue, and the Passer-by throws the Blind Man down, and runs off. The Blind Man sadly searches for his cane, picks himself up, and continues on his way home, musing about how nice the first man was, and how cruel the
second was. Not knowing all the while that both the friendly man and the cruel one were the same person.

bo shibari Shite TARO KAJA Ado MASTER Koado JIRÖ KAJA Taro Kaja and Jirö Kaja are great saké lovers and their Master has heard that they always steal his saké and get drunk when he is away from the house. He has hit upon a plan to prevent their getting to the saké this time. He calls Jirö Kaja and asks for his cooperation in tricking Taro Kaja and tying him to a pole. Jirö Kaja reluctantly agrees and they call Taro Kaja and ask him to demonstrate the use of the pole in selfdefense. He is very proud of his ability in this art and while he is completely his hands and tie them to the pole across absorbed in his demonstration, they catch his hands and tie them to the pole acrosse the back of his neck. Jirö Kaja is enjoying Tarò Kaja's plight when the Master sneaks up behind him and ties his hands behind his back. He explains the reason for what he has done and goes out on some business or other. Tied up in this manner, they find they are even thirstier than usual, and decide to go to the saké cellar and at least smell the saké. This makes them still thirstier. Taro Kaja hits upon an idea, gets a huge saké cup and ladies some saké, out, tries to drink it, but since he can’t get it to his mourth, holds it for Jirö Kaja to drink. When it comes Taro Kaja’s turn to drink, he ladles the saké, then puts the full cup in Jirö Kaja’s hands (which are tied behind his back), gets down on his knees and drinks. They get very drunk and are singing and dancing when the Master comes home. He comes up behind them and they see his reflection in the saké cup on the floor between them. Thinking it is a hallucination, they make up an insulting song about the Master. The Master chases them out of the saké cellar in a rage. In the Okura script, the Master calls Taro Kaja and asks him to cooperate in tying Jirö Kaja up. It is Tarò Kaja’s Idea to have Jirö Kaja perform with the stick and to tie him to it. The Master does not explain why he has tied them up, but they immediately guess the reason after he leaves. In the end the Master chases Taro Kaja off, then threatens to beat Jirö Kaja, but Jirö Kaja gets loose and chases the Master off with his stick. The rest is the same as the Izumi script.
