(Original English program summary, edited for grammar)

Minamoto-no-Mitusnobu was diligently working s the Governor of the Province of Harima. however, he always had the ambition to go up to Miyako or Kyoto, an ancient capital, to gain a chance for world fame.

Through good offices provided by his aunt, serving at the mansion of Dainagon (a superior Court official), he was offered a position at the Samuurai-dokoro. He was overjoyed at this and he immediately prepared to journey to Miyako.

The Miyako people, however, greeted him coldly because they viewed him as a rustic. This naturally proved a great dismay to Mitsunobu, resulting in him feeling sick at heart.

By chance, he happened to see Aoi-hime, the daughter of Dainagon, Chief Counselor of State. The young lady was so beautiful that he was made ecstatic by her beauty. He knew perfectly well that the princess was beyond his reach and, just for this reason, his love for her grew deeper and stronger day after day. He could not control himself.

He was so beyond himself on account of the uncontrollable love that he soon became wild in heart and began to wander aimlessly through the streets of Miyako.

On a certain day, he happened to come upon a strangely attired girl being mistreated in the Princess's chamber. He volunteered to rescue from her predicament. She had come from a distant and solitary abode, deep in the mountains.

Mitsunobu was further shocked when the elder brother of the girl, named Kirara, appeared in the attire of an Oni (Demon), or Hanawaka Douji.

As a token of gratitude to Mitsunobu for helping to rescue the young girl, Hanawaka-Douji presented him with a fan, warning, "Use this fan only once in your lifetime and you shall be sure to find your wish fulfilled. But never use it often, for then your luck will forthwith turn into misfortune, bringing misery and sorrow to you. Beware!"

Hanawaka-Douji was fascinated by Mitsunobu's personality, while Kirara began to feel a faint affection toward Mitsunobu.

The chance for Mitsunobu to use the fan eventually came around. It fell on the bay of the ceremony officially opening a newly-erected Buddhist temple. Mitsunobu was one of the dancers to offer a dance dedicated to the deity. While dancing, he used the fan in the presence of none else than Aoi-hime!

In an instant, the noble Princess fell into love with Mitsunobu. The two became lovers and, thanks to the Princess's backing, he soon found himself promoted to high enough Court rank that he was authorized to step into the Imperial Palace.

He, however, was ecstatic with joy. He was charmed with the magic power of his fan, so much so that he was oblivious of the advice previously made by the Demon.

He began to behave in such a frivolous manner that people soon began to call him names. Rumors about him reached the ears of Aoi-hime in no time. As a result, Misunobu was at once deprived of all his Court rank and title. The fan itself was also taken back by Hanawaka-Douji.

In this manner, Mitsunobu eventually came back to his senses. He realized that his true happiness existed nowhere else than in the Province of Harima.

Together with Kirara, who trusted in Mitsunobu to his very last moment, he departed from the Miyako once and for all, in search of his ultimate happiness.
