The Tale of the Fisherman's Daughter

The Tale of the Fisherman's Daughter was a famous Nō play that recounted the legend of how the first Hantei met his bride, Doji Mioko. In 1122 it was performed a kogaki version of the play during Imperial Winter Court at Kyūden Doji, being translated into the Kabuki style. The island spirit was usually depicted as an old woman who wore an iconic white headpiece of wildly flowing hair called shirogashira. Winter's Embrace, pp. 5, 19, 21, 26
