- 133Le no Takasago
- 11-12Deeply interwoven in the national sentiment is the play Takasago, which is the story of faithful spirits of the pine tree and is perhaps the most important and most beloved of all the Nō.
- 30The lines quoted above from Dickins are rendered by Aston* as follows : “With waves that rise along the shore, and a genial wind of spring upon the ship-path, how many days pass without a trace of him we know not, until at length he has reached the longed-for bay of Takasago, on the coast of Harima.”
- 30This play of Takasago is often quoted and is much beloved by the Japanese, and some of the verses from it are invariably chanted at the wedding festivals.
- 58There is no other stage like this No stage, so small, being twenty-five feet square at the largest, all opened except the wall facing to the audience, where the painted old pine-tree, as old as the world, as gray as poetry, looms as if a symbol of eternity out of the mist (think of the play of Takasago, the hosts of pine-trees in the shapes of an old man and woman singing deathlessness and peace) the long gallery or bridge on the same level connected with the stage on the right, along which the No actors move as spectres and make the performance complete, the passage of a beginning and ending, I might say Life and Death.
- 65With the singing of a passage from ” Takasago,” it is believed your wedlock will be sealed .
- 65“Takasago,” the happy play celebrating constancy, endurance, health and longevity, is represented by an old man and an old woman busy hi the work of raking up the pine-needles under the pine-trees.

- 51Takasago (The Pine-tree of Takasago)
- 7The pine-tree exists everywhere in Japan; and, according to the audience’s imagination, may be pictured as the old pine-tree at Takasago in the province of Harima or the pine-woods of Mio, or the pine-grove of Sagano, Kyoto.
- 15The atmosphere in which the story takes place is awe inspiring and such plays as Takasago and Yumi-Yawata fall in this group.
