Noh play "Nue"
A Mysterious Figure in the Clouds A traveling monk arrives in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, after visiting the Kumano Sanzan shrines. As the sun sets, he tries to rent lodging, but is refused. He ignores the advice of the locals and stays the night in an eerie temple. Then, late at night, a mysterious figure appears on a boat. The figure reveals that it is the ghost of a "Nue" and tells the story of what happened at the time before disappearing into the waves (intermission). As the monk recites a sutra, the Nue appears, shows the monk how he was killed by Yorimasa, and then disappears.
