Product description

Curator's notes:

Dojoji is a Japanese Noh play that tells the story of a young woman named Kiyo-hime who is transformed into a serpent by a jealous priest named Anchin, after he is spurned by her. The play is based on a traditional Japanese legend, and it was written by the playwright Kōgyō Tsukioka in the 14th century. In the play, Anchin pursues Kiyo-hime relentlessly, even after she is transformed into a serpent, and the climax of the play takes place at the Dojoji Temple, where Kiyo-hime ultimately manages to escape from Anchin's clutches and is freed from her serpentine form. The play is known for its powerful performances, particularly the role of Kiyo-hime, which requires a female performer to don a serpentine costume that is said to weigh over 100 pounds.
