Asami Mitsuhiko Series 9 (1997)

At a Mizukami-school memorial Noh performance, Wataka, the grandson of the head of the school, Kazunori, is chosen to perform Dojoji while wearing the “Rain-Bringer Mask.” This mask, passed down through generations of the Mizukami family, is the symbol of the school’s head. By receiving the mask from Kazunori, Wataka is designated as the successor to the main family. The memorial performance also serves as Wataka’s formal succession announcement, and he takes the stage to dance Dojoji. However, during the performance, Wataka dies of poisoning on stage. Meanwhile, in Shinjuku, a middle-aged man named Kawashima is found poisoned to death while carrying the Isuzu bell of Amakawa Shrine, a sacred object that should have been in Kazunori’s possession. The police begin an investigation. At the same time, Asami Mitsuhiko, who is visiting Yoshino to research Noh theater, learns that Yukie was close to Takasaki, a member of a branch family of the Mizukami school.
