Commentary
When the celestial maiden dances, in order to retrieve her “feathered robe” / hagoromo, she sings of the beauty of spring breezes in the pines at Miho Bay, and then flies off to the misty peak of Mt. Fuji, seen in the hazy background shape. See: Japanese Noh Drama: Ten Plays volume III, pp. 19-31
