Yamanba is a frequently-performed Noh play of the fifth category attributed to Zeami Motokiyo. Its central character is the legendary mountain hag, Yama-uba. A female dancer, called Hyakuma Yamanba because of her frequent performances of songs about the character, embarks on a pilgrimage to ZenkAiji in Shinano Province, accompanied by her attendants. While travelling north-east on the Koshi road, they arrive at the river boundary between Etchu Province and Echigo Province. The road beyond diverges in three directions, and they ask for directions from a local, who advises them that Agero Pass is far too steep for a litter, as it is the path Amida himself takes as he descends to receive souls. The dancer decides that, as she is a pilgrim, it is fitting that she descend from her litter and proceed on foot, taking that very path.
