Japanese Candle Noh "Tori Komachi"
A rain of tears falling on one person? A suspicious woman delivers nuts and other things to a monk living in Yase, Kyoto every day, and then vanishes, implying that she is "Ono no Komachi" who lives in Ichiharano. When the monk goes to Ichiharano to mourn Komachi's spirit, Komachi appears, overjoyed at the transfer of her soul. However, Fukakusa Shosho appears from the earth and tries to prevent Komachi from attaining nirvana alone. The monk tells him to show him the state of Shosho's "100-night visit" as a confession, and tells him of the hardships he endured over the 99 nights. Both of them then attain nirvana.
