Tsuba Referring to the Noh Play "Kayoi Komachi" |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: At the lower right of the tsuba, a dog sits among reeds with a skull and a skeleton. A full moon breaks through clouds at the upper right. This scene is a traditional reference to the noh play "Kayoi Komachi" (The Nightly Courting of Komachi). Ono no Komachi was a 9th-century poet. In the play, her spirit and the spirit of her suitor, Fukakusa no Shôshô, appear to a priest. The priest deduces that one of the ghosts is Ono no Komachi because the ghost makes a reference to her poem about pampas grass growing through a skull. On the back, the straw hat at the lower left is an allusion to a legend about Ariwara no Narihira finding Komachi's skull while he was traveling. |
