SYNOPSIS:
Shuron (A Religious Dispute) – When two Buddhist monks from rival sects meet on the road, their friendly debate explodes into a comic battle of chants, dances, and stubborn pride.

Kaki Yamabushi (Persimmons and the Mountain Priest) – A priest caught stealing persimmons pretends to be birds and animals – and chaos ensues!
