Английская Википедия:Benkei on the Bridge
Шаблон:Nihongo is a Japanese Noh play from the 15th century, by Hiyoshi Sa-ami Yasukiyo.[1]
Theme
The play centres around the encounter between the giant warrior monk Benkei and the youthful Minamoto no Yoshitsune, in which the slighter, younger man defeated the elder.[2] The hand-to-hand bridge combat forged a lasting bond between the pair.[3]
Thereafter Benkei served as Yoshitsune’s second in command[4] - as what Basho would describe as “his faithful retainer, Benkei”.[5]
Later developments
Buson created a haiku and a haiku painting, Benkei and Young Bull, around the themes of the play, quoting from it in his haiku:
“Snow, moon, and blossoms -
And then a pledge for three lives,
Faith and loyalty”.[6]
