For this reason and others, Kabuki plays are almost never performed in their entirety today, and "Yoshitsune" is no exception. The fullest standard version of any play is called "tōshi kyōgen", which in the case of "Yoshitsune" consists of nine of the full fifteen scenes. However, again as is the case with most plays, individual scenes or elements of "Yoshitsune" may be performed alone as part of a day's program of other such bits and pieces. The first, second, and fourth scenes of Act One are the most rarely performed today.
