Shimbashi Enbujo in May - the fun of the intermission

1. May 9, 2011 08:30

On the 6th, theater noon. Because it is a valley of GW, it is relatively relaxed, about 80% of the entrance. In March, four days after the transfer, vacant seats were conspicuous, but in April it recovered to about 70%. I feel relieved that "daily life" has come back little by little.


This month's afternoon performance is through "Enemies Tenshi Chaya Ju".

It is Uri for Koshiro to play two roles, Motoemon Adachi and Saburoemon Toma, both in the first role. It is said that these two roles alone have been played since the fourth generation Tomoemon Otani played during the Tenpo era. Kabuki Kyogen originally has many enemy opponents, but this year is particularly noticeable.


In February, Shochiku-za was caught in the catch of "day and night revenge", and the national government in March was "Picture Book Law Qu" (It was canceled from the 15th due to the effects of the earthquake) And this month's performance in Tenka Chaya Ju Tokyo has been performed for the first time in 10 years since the national government in 2001. It is based on the theme of the enemy attack that actually occurred in Tengachaya in Osaka during the Edo period, and it can be wondered what the good people of the enemy attack will return more and more and encounter the defeat. There are many "returns" in which bad people change and become good people, but it is rare that the former good people, Motoemon, turns over to the bad people due to bad liquor habits. 。 Koshiro plays the charming bad guys of the weak small villain Motoemon and the enemy Saburoemon in plenty of time that he can not seem to be the first role. I recommend it.



Well, the intermission of Kabuki. I think that there are many people who look into the shop during the long intermission, meal time and short intermissions.
My meal on this day is "Kabesu" on the 2nd floor (confectionery, lunch box, sushi, and it was delivered to the intermission with this set in the Edo period) and tempura soba (1300 yen).
In the 20-minute intermission, go to the corner up the 2nd floor escalator, which always has a seasonal display with a coffee on the 1st floor in one hand.
This month, "Folders and Fans." A fan (3500 yen) designed with a bird and animal caricature and a pine forest picture folding screen, and Nihonbashi Haibara's special "Uchiha" small "Uchiha Komachi" (1000 yen) are cute. The niceness of the shop in theater, which reminds me of that fair in Kabukiza, is not the buzz and bustle of the shop.

On the way back, at the 1st floor shop, Seigetsu Domoto store's seasonal limited "Otoshibun" "Shincha Tailored Moe" (530 yen for 4 pieces) and Shinmune's "Shikonbu 840 yen". This is the only place you can always get in Tokyo! I bought it. Today, the famous "Ice Monaka" (300 yen) and the "Taiyaki" (200 yen) at the shop on the 3rd floor cannot be tasted. I'm looking forward to next week together with the evening.
