Momijigari (play)

Momijigari (紅葉狩) or Maple Viewing (English title) is a Japanese folk law narrative, performed as theatre in both kabuki as a shosagoto (dance-focused play) and in Noh versions. It was also the first narrative ever filmed in Japan. The Noh play was written by Kanze Nobumitsu during the Muromachi period. Other titles for the play include Yogoshōgun and Koremochi.
