In the New Year, the 3rd day passed quickly, and tonight on the 4th, the first play!
At the front entrance of Shimbashi Enbujo, there are Kadomatsu, kagami mochi and Dai Hagoita in the center of the lobby. The audience coming and going through the lobby has many gorgeous visiting clothes and kimonos, and the atmosphere of the New Year's theater stands out.
The "Yanone" at night is one of the 18th Kabuki and the classic New Year's kyogen Soga. It was decided during the Kyoho period (1716-36) that Edo Kabuki performed "Soga Mono" as kyogen in early spring at New Year's entertainment. It is said to have the meaning of wishing for a year's security and rich harvest in a vibrant storm.
"Yanone" was premiered in 1729 (1729) when Danjuro, the second generation, performed at Nakamura-za during the New Year. On the 113th from New Year to May, after resting for 5 days, it became a record-breaking hit with a record scale of five days, and the jackpot gold made a storehouse called "Yanonezo". After this storehouse is the place name of today's "Yanokura". -There is a theory that, but the Shogunate built a rice warehouse around Higashi Nihonbashi 1-chome, and in the past there was a storehouse that stores arrows as lexical. It's not clear that there is a theory, but it's fun to have this "arrow root" hit.
Goro Mitsutsu, who plays this time, talks about "kyogen, where you can go to Ise-jingu Shrine on New Year's Day and enjoy the clean feeling of walking on a gravel."
When Ichimatsu shoji door in front of the stage rises, Goro Soga appears in the appearance of the main character of the storm of the car alba and Nioshiki. Leave with radish as a whip! It's a short kyogen, but you can enjoy it just like New Year.
In the evening part, the fifth generation of Juro Tomiyoshi Yoshiemon and Takanoshi's "Renshi", Kikugoro's "Megumi's fight", and more than 30 tombs are full of stage. The lion dance is also included in the parlor, making the New Year's mood even more exciting.
In the afternoon, "Aioi Lion", "Kinkaku-ji Temple" and "Kaga Tobi"
New Year Kabuki has many gorgeous and easy-to-understand kyogen, so even those who are looking for the first time can enjoy it. Would you like to go out to the theater to enjoy a slightly different early spring mood?
