Samurai Drama Part 1

Imagine Jerry Springer meets Akira Kurosawa. This drama, done by area volunteers, highlights the role of the local magistrate (or samurai lord) during feudal times. My Japanese isn't fluent, so I'm not certain of all that is going on here. According to a friend, the young man (played by a woman) and woman want to get married, but their parents do not approve.
This is a regular performance held at the Nagasaki Cultural History Museum which has, as its centerpiece, a full size recreation of a home from the time period that the drama takes place.
Enjoy.
