In a play titled for one of these objects, Zhào Wǔniáng carries one of them and a portrait as she searches for her husband Cai Yong; that play by Yuan dramatist Gao Ming is titled “The Story of” one of these objects. The title poet carries one of these objects into battle instead of a weapon in Zeami’s play Atsumori. A female demon becomes trapped inside a huge one of these objects in the Noh play Dōjōji. Blind itinerant “priests” named for and carrying a type of these objects recited The Tale of the Heike. Seated users of these objects appear with standing storytellers in Korean pansori. In performances of works like Farewell My Concubine, the voices of actors are mirrored by users of these objects, which include the erhu. For 10 points, kabuki theater is accompanied by performers on what objects such as the shamisen? ■END■
