*''Japanese'': 由良の湊 ''(yura no minato)''
''Yura no minato'' ("The Port at Yura") is a ''[[kusemai]]'' dance with accompanying narrative later adapted by the [[Yamato province|Yamato]] ''[[sarugaku]]'' actor & playwright [[Kan'ami]].
It tells the story of a woman who abandons her unfaithful husband and sets out on the road, where she encounters a man who tricks her and sells her into prostitution. The story ends with her at a brothel in Kakegawa (in modern-day [[Shizuoka prefecture]]), lamenting her fate.
