Yamada School koto music is centered on the vocalists and their presentation of the song and drama. The stories are often based on older Noh plays, as is Chikubushima. Outline: spring scene by Lake Biwa, commencing boat journey to the sacred island, description of the passengers including a woman, dialogue where the woman's presence is challenged ("sacred spaces off limits"), praise of the island's patron goddess, Benten-sama and her appearance accompanied by flowers raining from heaven, her wonderful powers praised.
