AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In very good conditon.
There are pain and stains due to aged deterioration,but no problem with functionality.
Please use zoom to inspect all pictures closely for the cosmetic condition.

Tsuchigumo is a Noh play. More specifically, it is classified as a genzai Noh a relatively realistic work featuring human characters and taking place in a linear time line. It is a gobanme-mono (五番目物), meaning that the Nihyakujū-ban Utai Mokuroku (二百拾番謡目録) indicates that its author is unknown. In the modern era, it is part of the repertoires of all five of the major schools of Noh (五流現行曲).

The story takes place in the Heian period of Japanese history, depicting a popular hero of that era—specifically the late 10th and early 11th centuries—taking down a monstrous spider, but the play itself dates to the significantly later Muromachi period (14th–16th centuries).
