Yaoya Oshichi 八百屋お七 火の見櫓の段 Bunraku puppet performance (full)

This was performed by Bunraku Bay at the 2009 Missouri Botanical Garden Japanese festival. This is the full perfomance of this story.

Taken from Bunraku Bay's website:
Yaoya Oshichi　八百屋お七　火の見櫓の段. Oshichi, daughter of the greengrocer, must relay information and a lost sword to her lover by dawn or he will die. But on this snowy evening with the gates of the city already secured for the night, she cannot reach him. Passing near a fire tower, Oshichi realizes that all the gates will be opened if a fire alarm is sounded. But the penalty for sounding a false alarm is death. Oshichi chooses to climb the icy tower to ring the bell, a testament of her devotion to her love.

音楽は凄いけど舞台がちゃっちすぎ
