Late at night, Jihei and Koharu headed to 'Daichō-ji Temple' in Amijima, Osaka. Weeping over their love for each other and their apologies to his left-behind wife Osan, they bound themselves tightly and fell into an eternal sleep. This highest masterpiece in which Chikamatsu Monzaemon depicted the extreme drama of 'Giri and Ninjo' is still performed today in films and theaters as a classic masterpiece, continuing to move audiences.
