Osekisho

Synopsis

When sparrows twitter and crows caw, the morning comes. This is a major border checkpoint in the Hakone mountains which attracts many groups of traveling entertainers from Mishima and Odawara. When the declaration is heard that "No one can go through this great border checkpoint without a pass," everyone without a steady job cringes as they do not have passes. Then, a nice official appears saying that anyone who can demonstrate their entertainment may pass through the border checkpoint. (Source: Japanese Animated Film Classics)
