Sakaya (from Joruri, the famous Japanese Bunraku Puppet Theater) come s from a puppet play whose full title translates roughly "the scene at the sake-shop where Sankatsu and Hanshichi were charmed by women dancing in bright silk kimonos. It symbolizes women's patience and faith. Osono's husband, Hanshichi, has a mistress and seldom stays home. Osono, however, waits for him every night till late with worries and regrets, yet with faith in ha- husband. Setting such as this are called kudoki or sawari, supposedly the most poetic sense, usually evoking tears, but smooth to the ears.
