[Noh play "Oimatsu (celebratory piece)"]
"An old pine is a pine tree that has lived for a long time; by extension, it is a symbol of longevity and prosperity."
When a person from the capital goes to Anraku-ji Temple in Tsukushi on the orders of the god Tenjin, the spirit of an old pine tree appears and dances, telling the legend of the Flying Plum and the Chasing Pine Tree.
Titles of songs such as Tokiwazu, Tomimoto, Kiyomoto, Nagauta, and Itchubushi based on the Noh play "Oimatsu" by Zeami.
