The third performance was “Yoro Shugen”(“Yoro Celebration”), a noh play about a waterfall in Gifu Prefecture that is said to have medicinal water. An imperial messenger sets out on a search for the waterfall and runs into two men who know where it is. They take him to waterfall and the mountain god, performed by Takao Yamauchi, a noh actor who made his stage debut at the age of seven, appears. The story ended with the mountain god’s graceful dance of a prayer for longevity and peace.
