WAKI"

I am a monk who has been at least once to many provinces,

but because I have not yet been to the Western regions,

I make up my mind to make a pilgrimage there now.

"WAKI"

As I speedily attain my goal, I find that this place, yes,

must be, as they say, the beach of Suma in the Province

of Settsu. (Looking in the direction of the pine prop on stage)

And, wait, yes now that I can see the rocky shore itself,

I find a pine tree which seems to have some extraordinary

significance. I am sure it carries some story, but I can not

know of it. I must find someone who lives in the vicinity

and ask them."
