Samurai Drama Part 2

In this half, the magistrate has arrived and is ready to mediate. At first, he seems troubled by what he hears, and there is no solution that will please everyone involved. Then a messenger runs up with a letter that changes everything. Once again, I couldn't quite make out what the letter was about, but it lightens the mood. He even starts joking with the audience. In the end, a solution is found.
The play is supposed to close out with a phrase said in unison by the audience, but the first attempt didn't please the magistrate. The left side is a little weak, so with some instruction, we try again. This time the magistrate looks straight at my camera, exclaims, "Very good!", and the play closes.

Afterward my friends and I took pictures with the cast and one of the actors gave us directions to a place where we could get something to eat.
