However, her love of her husband increases even more. When she hopes to see him at least in her dreams, the spirit of Kiyotsune in armor appears in her dream, and the lovers who never be able to meet in this life meet in this way. Although they are happy upon their reunion, the wife blames her husband, who broke the promise of reunion, and the husband blames his wife’s heartlessness as she returns his hair to the shrine. They shed tears of resentment. Eventually, the spirit of Kiyotsune tells what happened until he chose to die and explains that he cast himself into the water to go to Paradise rather than live in this transient world of never-ending suffering. Furthermore he describes the dismal state in the realm of Asura and is saved by the invocation of the Buddha’s name at the end.
In his writings of “Fūshikaden” and “Sandō,” Zeami explains how to make shuranoh as it chooses great warriors of the Genji and Heike clans for the lead part and follows the historical stories, and includes battle scenes at the end of the piece. Kiyotsune, who chose death by drowning himself despite his status as a member of the Heike clan, does not follow the typecast of the main character in shuranoh. Kiyotsune was tormented by the sense of loss and desperation at the fate of the Heike clan which was exiled from the capital city. Accordingly, he sought ultimate salvation by belief. The sentiment of Kiyotsune, who chose to kill himself, is described by way of his recollection. The dance of the shite from kuse to kiri, which interweaves Kiyotsune’s imagined scenery with actual scenery, is the highlight of this drama. In an intense atmosphere, the group reciters, musicians, and the dance of shite describe the series of scenery together. It looks overwhelmingly great.
