Date: ca. 1766.Hakurakuten is a classic Noh play dealing with the intellectual debate on the relative attainments of Japanese and Chinese culture: has the Japanese waka poem achieved superiority over the venerated Tang Chinese poem The play presents this debate in the form of a discussion between Bo Juyi (Hakurakuten) and Sumiyoshi Myojin, the Japanese god of waka.
