A Japanese Sumo-wrestler is in China. He waits for the Emperor's going out to ask for permission to go home.
When the Emperor goes out accompanied by many followers (he appears with fanfare!) and hears about his wish through "Tsuji (a translator)", he requests the wrestler to wrestle one more time before going home.
The wrestler receives his Majesty's request and wrestles many followers refereed by the Tsuji.
After all the followers are beaten, the Emperor wants to wrestle him.
While the Emperor prepares for the wrestling, the followers sing and play music.
He makes his followers wrap his body with a straw mat to prevent the wrestler from touching (the Emperor dances to the music all the while).
When the wrestler beats the Emperor and runs, some followers chase him, and others carry the Emperor on their crossed hands and leave the scene holding umbrellas over him.
