"Taira no Koremochi defeats the Kijo Momiji."
18990h 6m5.8 TMDb
Directed by Tsunekichi Shibata
Spoiler-Free
A reel of the Noh drama Momiji-gari, in which Danjuro Ichikawa played opposite Onoe Kikugoro V as an ogress who has disguised herself as the Princess Sarashina. Filmed by Shibata Tsunekichi in the open air on a windy day in November 1899, Danjuro would allow only the one take, so that when his fan blew away in mid-performance the scene had to stay.
