*''Japanese'': 海人 ''(ama)''
''Ama'' is a [[Noh]] play based loosely on numerous tales about ''[[ama]]'' (pearl divers) and the Dragon King who lives under the sea. In the play, the ''shite'' plays a diver girl in the first act, and as the Dragon Princess in the second act; the second act is dominated by the Princess' recitation of the [[Lotus Sutra]], and a dance, showing her devotion for the [[sutra]].
