Summary of Musume Dojoji: "A beautiful woman inveigles her way into a temple compound at the time of a ceremony to consecrate a new bell. She secretly burns with anger because she believes that one of the monks betrayed his vow to marry her. She changes from one gorgeous kimono to another until the maiden turns into a frightening demon who melts the new bell. Performed at Tokyo's Kabuki-Za Theatre, Tamasaburo is seen here at the height of his powers as a dancer." --Marty Gross
