W.B. Yeats's At the Hawk's Well was adapted from a work in this genre which sees a fisherman convince a spirit to dance for him in exchange for the return of the spirit's feather-mantle. One well-known work in this genre sees a group of priests exorcise a female demon who'd trapped herself in a gigantic bell, while another exemplar of this genre centers on two salt-making sisters who haunt a bay after being abandoned by a courtier. Works in this genre often use a set consisting primarily of a painting of a pine tree and are often performed alongside farcical works called kyogen. Dojoji and Matsukaze are prominent examples of this genre, which was pioneered by Kan'ami and his son Zeami. For 10 points, identify this genre of Japanese drama, noted for its prominent use of masks.
