A dramatic ballad singer studied under a strict teacher
who insisted that he rehearse day after day, month
after month the same passage from the same song,
without being permitted to go any further. Finally,
overwhelmed by frustration and despair, the young
man ran off to find another profession. One night,
stopping at an inn, he stumbled upon a recitation
contest. Having nothing to lose, he entered the
competition and, of course, sang the one passage that
he knew so well. When he had finished, the sponsor of
the contest highly praised his performance. Despite
the student's embarrassed objections, the sponsor
refused to believe that he had just heard a beginner
perform. "Tell me," the sponsor said, "who is your
instructor? He must be a great master." The student
later became known as the great performer Koshiji.
