The Passing of the Cherry Tree

The Passing of the Cherry Tree was a kabuki play which depicted a daimyo who had lived a long and full life, and passed down the burden of his family's trust to his young son. It was performed by the Imperial Acting troupe Jade Tear during Winter Court at Kyuden Seppun in 1123. At this time the play ressembled the hopes of Miya Satoshi, son of the Miya Daimyo Miya Yoto, who expected his father passed him the Miya's leadership.
