SHOUZOKU TUKI MAIBAYASHI a short extract from
Noh KANTAN (The Pillow of Kantan)

This concern a dream of glory experienced by Rosei, a young man in China who is wavering about what to do with his life. He awakes from a dream to find that fifty years of exultation were but the time it took some millet to cook. The notion of life as a transient matter, similar to a piece of a dream is the theme of this philosophical Noh play.
