Introduction
■Kabuki Performance Otokodate Hana no Yoshiwara
Goshono Gorozo, the most gallant and chivalrous of men in the capital of Edo, is off to the bustling Nakanocho corner of the Yoshiwara pleasure district. He has received a love letter from his lover, the courtesan Keisei. Gorozo tells us the story of how they met and their many rendezvous in a dance. On his way, he is ambushed by men who hold a grudge against him, but Gorozo effortlessly fends them off and continues on his way to his beloved.
