One such play was Hibariyama (Skylark Mountain, writer unknown). The first act tells how Chūjō-hime’s father, Minister Toyonari, ordered one of his retainers to kill his daughter, after having believed a lie about her. The retainer then takes Chūjō-hime to Mount Hibari with the intention of killing her, but, unable to do so, he instead builds a shelter for her and her nurse.
