Kumagai-Jirō Naozane, who currently lives in Musashi Province, has killed Taira no Atsumori in the battle of Ichinotani in Tsu Province (now Suma District of Kobe City in Hyōgo Prefecture). He felt great remorse for killing Atsumori, became a Buddhist monk under the great priest Hōnen and changed his name to Rensei (waki).

Rensei travels back to Suma Beach to pray for the salvation of Atsumori's soul in the afterlife. Amid his prayers he suddenly hears the sound of a flute. He sees a group of grass cutters (shite and tsure of the first act), playing flutes on their way home. They tell Rensei about the songs of the woodcutters and the flutes of the grass cutters.

While most of the cutters continue on their way back home, one of them stays behind. After confessing to Rensei that he is, in fact, related to Atsumori, the man disappears into thin air.

A local man (ai), who happens to pass by, tells Rensei the story of Atsumori's death and the battle of Ichinotani. Rensei reveals that he is none other than Naozane, the man who killed Atsumori, and decides to spend the night on the beach in prayer for his soul's salvation.

At night, Atsumori's ghost (shite in the second act) appears, dressed in full armor. He expresses his gratitude to Rensei and narrates the story of his end.

Atsumori's ghost recalls the banquet with music in the evening before the battle, dances and reenacts the moment when he was slain by Naozane. In the end, he shows his appreciation for the memorial service again and, requesting further prayers from Rensei, vanishes from sight.
