Recitative. A song is heard within.
“Though your heart is cold to me,

Jutaro. Master Yagoro and Master Kitahachi, this is the tea-house Ichiriki, where Master Yuranosuke takes his pleasure. Oh, Heiyemon, we will call you when the time comes. Go and wait in the kitchen.
Heiyemon. Yes, sir. I beg you will speak for me.
Jutaro. Will some one please come to the door?
Waitress. Yes, sir; and who are you?
