In this video, we study the dance-drama masterpiece Funa Benkei ("Benkei Aboard Ship"), created in 1885 by Kawatake Mokuami for the actor Ichikawa Danjūrō IX.
Note: Mistake at 1:49, the text should read "the shōgun Minamoto no Yoritomo" (thank to @KorKhan89 for catching the error!).
If you want to learn more about this play, I highly recommend Paul Griffith's translation in "Kabuki Plays On Stage, Volume 4", which has served as the basis for the subtitles on this video.
