The scenes commonly performed today are the one commonly called 'Fuinkiri' starring Umegawa and her regular customer Chube, in which Chube, provoked by his friend Hachiemon, breaks the seal on the package of public funds entrusted to hikyaku-donya, and the scene commonly called 'Ninokuchimura,' in which Chube, now a criminal because he has used that money to redeem Umegawa, visits his home in Yamato with Umegawa, to see his father Magoemon one last time.
The highlight of Fuinkiri is when Chube breaks the seal, as shown in the picture. At Izutsuya brothel, in the presence of many other people, Hachiemon says that the koban (gold coins) that Chube is carrying are counterfeit, and Chube, in a fit of anger, denying that, unconsciously breaks the seal on the package of koban. (In the Edo period, this was a capital crime.) Immediately after this, the Takemoto shamisen played in a fast tempo, effectively expresses Chube's feeling of regret.
