Chikubushima

Chikubushima is an anonymous Noh play of the first category, celebrating the sacred volcanic[citation needed] island of that name in Lake Biwa.

When he arrives at the lake shore, an old fisherman and a young woman are setting out in a fishing boat.

After the boat arrives at Chikubu Island the old man gives the courtier directions to the shrine.

As the young woman is going the same way, the courtier asks if there is a prohibition against women (like many other shrines).

The old man dives into the ocean and the young woman disappears behind a door into the shrine.
