Kotobuki Soga no Taimen is the final form of the famous taimen or "encounter" scene between the Soga brothers and Kudō Suketsune, written during the Meiji period by Kawatake Mokuami, but closely based on the many similar scenes created for New Year productions during the Edo period.

You can learn more about this play here: [ Ссылка ] as well as in the translation by Laurence R. Kominz in the book "Kabuki Plays on Stage Vol 1: Brilliance and Bravado".
