Hagoromo (Feather Robe) is a well-known Nō play that is also performed as a dance play in the Kabuki repertory. An angel whose robe is discovered by a fisherman on Miho Beach is compelled to dance for him before he returns her robe. The beautiful feathered robe and the fisherman’s basket are clues to the subject of this surimono.
