Kinuta, also known as The Fulling Block, is a noh play written by Zeami. The characters who appear in this play are: the husband, a local squire (waki), his sword bearer (wakizure), a maid, Yugiri (tsure), the wife (maeshite), a servant (ai) and The Spirit of his wife, after her death (nochijite). The Jo, or introduction to the work, begins with the first verse of the Husband (waki), because it establishes the basis of the work and introduces the shit, or the Wife: "You have before you a squire of Ashiya in Kyushu. Presently I I find myself in Miyako, where I have my own case to take care of. Although I didn't think I would stay in Miyako for long, this year is already my third and I am very worried about my wife and my house. For this reason, I mean send my maid, Yugiri, to Ashiya” (Tyler 160). The husband then sends Yugiri, the maid; to Ashiya to announce that he would definitely return home by the end of the year arrives in Ashiya to break the news to his wife. Inside the Jo, the opera's dilemma is slowly revealed and given a better understanding in the Ha, where the Wife (shit) enters and recites a poem: the depths, leaning side by side. alongside, they still fear the waves that divide them. And I, whose love has drifted away, while still living, can only bear the rush of memories; my cry that I have not forgotten. Tears flow from the sleeves rain of life that never ends for this broken heart! (Tyler 161). Within this poem there are underlying images, which further define the dilemma of the work and the resentment of the wife. The mandarin duck and the fish, or t...... in the center of the card ......ted Lotus Sutra so powerful, the Lotus Sutra chanted, before the spirit a bright path of light opens directly to Buddhahood (Tyler 170) There are a couple of dualities within the Kyu. First, the duality of darkness and light; where the spirit of the Wife is able to escape the darkness of Hell and enter the light of the Buddha. Secondly, the duality that is present is the transition of his spirit from suffering to enlightenment. In the Kyu the play comes to a conclusion, as the Wife is able to meet her husband again who helps guide her spirit towards Buddhahood. Here the Wife is finally able to find peace, because she sees the reverent love of her husband while chanting the Lotus Sutra. Works Cited Tyler, Royall. Japanese Noh dramas.
