お袖(おそで)の哀しく力強い三味線と、喜多八(きたはち)の魂の謡(うたい)を一つに融け合わせる稽古

Finding a 'true, beautiful soul of art' in Osode, Kitahachi trained her intensely, teaching her all of his Noh techniques to beautifully harmonize her shamisen and his chanting. Under the faint light of the paper lantern, the scene where the sad yet powerful resonance of Osode's shamisen and Kitahachi's soulful chanting melted together is a famous scene portraying the pinnacle of the artistic path.
