*''Japanese'': 船弁慶 ''(funa benkei)''
''Funa Benkei'', or "Benkei Aboard Ship," is a [[Noh]] play by [[Kanze Nobumitsu]] in which [[Musashibo Benkei|Benkei]], helping [[Minamoto no Yoshitsune]] and [[Shizuka Gozen]] escape from the forces of [[Shogun]] [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], is attacked by the angry spirit of [[Taira no Tomomori]], who died at the [[Battle of Dan no Ura]].
The play is based more directly on the ''[[Gikeiki]]'' ("Chronicle of Yoshitsune") than on the ''[[Heike monogatari]]'' ("Tale of Heike"), and though set after Yoshitsune's great victories as a general in the [[Genpei War]].
