Shiwasu is the season of "Chushingura" in Kabuki. Nothing has been loved and handed down by Japanese for as long as "Chushingura" STORY.
"Kanademoto Chushingura" is the best known Kabuki Kyogen known as "Dosanyu" (notic medicine) since the performance at Kabuki in puppet ballad drama in 1748, a little later. This December, Kyoto Minamiza "Senishi Yashiki", Heisei Nakamuraza, one of the Chushingura's foreign biography "Matsuura Taiko", is being performed, and on December 14, I decided to watch three parts of "Genroku era Chushingura" in the country. (Of course, December 14, Genroku 15 (1702) is the lunar calendar.) Seika Mayama's 10 Genroku era Chushingura works were born several times since the big hit of the kana model Chushingura, but they are highly regarded as masterpieces because they are almost faithful to historical facts based on carefulChushingura's historical evidence.
Today's performances are three parts: "Edo Castle's blade wound", "Mihama Goten Tsunatoyo" and "Oishi's last day". Of these, "Mihama Goten Tsunatoyo" is Yoshiemon Tsunatoyo of Yoshiemon Nakamura and Sukeemon Tominomori of Matagoro, Kansyo Arai of Umetama, Kisei, Shiba Sparrow, Goyu-sho Eshima, Kaiharu.
This stage, "Mihama Goten", is the current Hamarikyu, and Hamarikyu is often featured in this blog, so it is not necessary to introduce it again, but Kofu feudal lord Matsudaira Tsunashige worshiped from his brother's fourth shogun Iezuna, reclaimed the sea and made it a Shimoyashiki, and Tsunashige's child, Tsunashige's child, became the Rokudai Shogun Ie Ie House. The stage was when Kofu Seiso Tsunatoyo used it as a Shimoyashiki.
The first act has just been restored this year, "Matsu no Chaya". There is a line in the play that "Odaisho is in a teahouse in Nakanoshima", but it is said that both teahouses were established in the 11th Ienari.
This Tsunataka later became the sixth shogun Ienobu, and the concubine Kisei became the concubine Tsukikoin, the son after the death of Ienobu was the seventh shogun Ietsu, and Gosuke Eshima became the Ooku Oyoro Eshima 12 years later, that "Eshima Ikushima" incident (1714) will occur.
The Eshima and Ooku women who caused this incident were invited to Yamamura-za, one of the "Goto" kimono merchant Goto Sodensuke, who was the origin of the name of Ichiishibashi. On January 12, the Shogunate's Sata came out on March 5, and Goto Sekimon in Kibori-cho was closed. The residence of Goto Seidensuke was located in Edo Gofukumachi on the south side of Ichiishibashi, but the Goto family, a kimono merchant, seems to have continued until around late Tokugawa shogunate.
"Eshima Ikushima" was a dance drama by Shigure Hasegawa in the Meiji era, entered the Showa era, and "Ejima Ikushima", a novel by Shoichi Funahashi in the Meiji era, entered the Showa era, and converted a novel by Shoichi Funahashi into Kabuki. Is known. (Details are unknown because they haven't seen it because they haven't performed much.) Many people may have seen it as a TV drama.
The National Theater presents an old map of the place that appears in the Genroku era Chushingura, which is being performed this month, as the "land of connection". It's a very good idea.
