Sesshōseki There are only voice parts in this recording. Script (English/Modern Japanese) https://www.the-noh.com/download/down... https://noh-sup.hinoki-shoten.co.jp/s... On his way from Northern Japan to the capital Kyoto, the Zen Buddhist priest Gennō (waki) drops by Nasuno Plain in Shimotsuke Province (Tochigi Prefecture). Gennō's servant (ai) notices that birds are suddenly falling to the ground and dying right when they fly over a certain big stone. Gennō and his servant are about to go near the stone to have a closer look, when a woman from the nearby village (shite in the first act) approaches them in a hurry. The woman explains that the stone is called Sesshōseki, or the Killing Stone, and it is the petrified feeling of attachment of Lady Tamamo, who was favored by the retired Emperor Toba. She warns the priest to stay away from the stone and then tells him the story of Lady Tamamo. One autumn night, the whole body of Lady Tamamo started glowing and since that night the Emperor fell ill. The diviner Abeno Yasunari identified the illness as Lady Tamamo's doing and when he tried to undo the curse, the Lady revealed her true form - a malevolent fox. They say she fled to Nasuno and turned into the Killing Stone. At the end of her story, the village woman confesses that she is in fact the spirit of the Killing Stone and disappears in its shadow. Gennō hears an even more detailed story from his servant and decides to hold a memorial service for the spirit of the stone. As he is saying the prayers, the stone splits in two and from within emerges the spirit of the evil fox (shite in the second act). The fox reenacts the story of her death. Although she fled to Nasuno and was eventually executed on the Emperor's order by the warriors Miuranosuke and Kazusanosuke, she remained attached to this world and turned to stone. However, blessed by Gennō's prayers, the spirit promises to never do wrong again and finally disappears. Sung by Kanze School
