WARNING!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!
The Lord Steward Umbrella
Shigeto, owner of a hot-pot shop which is going nowhere, is pestered by his creditors and his wife O-Ben is furious. One day Shigeto shelters a high-ranking lady under his umbrella, and then brags that he has been conferred the fifth rank title of "lord steward." It is at that moment that a messenger arrives and explains that it is not Shigeto who was conferred the title, but the umbrella.
Benkei in a Boat
Based on the kabuki play of the same name. (Summary from Wikipedia).
Minamoto no Yoritomo, seeing his younger brother Minamoto no Yoshitsune as a rival power, excludes him from the royal family despite his loyal performance in battle. Yoshitsune decides to escape and meet up with his retainer Benkei at Daimotsu no Ura port. While at a hotel en route, his girlfriend Shizuka dances for him, and her headdress falls off during the dance. It is a bad omen, so she leaves it and returns to Kyoto. Yoshitsune continues the next day and boards the boat, where they are struck by a dangerous storm. During the storm they are attacked by ghosts of the sea, among them Taira no Tomomori. They fight the spirits, but to no avail. Eventually, Benkei realises that the only way to defeat a vengeful spirit is through prayer, and the storm dissipates.
