もとのもくあみ

Back to square one

During the Warring States Period, a general Junsho Tsutsui (順昭筒井) died of illness and blind monk named Mokuami (木阿弥) was used as a body double to conceal news of the death since they looked and sounded so alike. Once the fallen general's son was old enough to take command, news of the death was released, and the Mokuami went back to his original元 status as citizen.
