Taken from Kabuki, this is the story about street performers from Niigata who travel to Edo in the winter to make a living. "Echigo" is an antiquated name for Niigata Prefecture and "Shishi" or "Jishi" means lion.
When Puccini came to Japan he liked this piece so much, he used it in his "Madame Butterfly".
