The three great dances of Kabuki performed by onnagata performers. Fujimusume s a dance of unrequited love; the wisteria maiden recalls the promises of an unfaithful lover. Yasuna is a court astrologer who goes mad with grief after his betrothed commits suicide when caught up in a court intrigue. Sagimusume is also a story of unrequited love; the heron is transformed into a maiden who remembers her tragically unfulfilled longings through dance.
