Catalog note / 解説

From an album of Kyogen performances, "Kyogen-ga Taikan", "Igui". Although Igui liked to go to his lord, he was a bit apprehensive because the lord had the habit of slapping his head with a folding fan. When Igui went to Kiyomizu Kannon shrine, he was bestowed a magic hat which could lender the wearer transparency. He used the hat when he was about to be slapped. The lord brought a fortune teller to predict where Igui was. But since Igui changed his positions quickly, he could avoid being caught. Igui also stole the fortune teller's sticks resulting some commotions between the lord and the fortune teller. At the end, Igui reveals himself and tells about the magic hat.
