During the May holidays this year, I wanted to avoid congestion and avoid going out. Fortunately, Shimbashi Enbujo's May Kabuki Night Club performed the “Kihei Criminal Book”, and the Edo Tokyo Museum held the “53rd Tokaido Exhibition” as a set, and I was immersed in the mood of Edo.
After visiting the "Fifty-threeth Exhibition" (To be precise, Nihonbashi and Sanjo Ohashi entered the fifty-fiveth) after noon on the 5th, my wife and I went to theater on foot. Cross Ryogoku Bridge, go from Edo-dori St. to Chuo-dori, just a little Harumi-dori St., and eventually Higashiginza. It was about an hour and a half.
"Onihei" is like a caretaker, and Mr. Yoshiemon's Heizo Hasegawa entered the hall as expected. Kinnosuke and Somegoro, who play the rival brothers of thieves, also performed enthusiastically. The seat was next to the flower path on the first floor, so I was able to see the scene where Yoshiemon left dashingly in Ozume. The next "Osomekumatsu Color Reading Sales" and Fukusuke's seven roles were wonderful, and I was able to enjoy the real pleasure of Kabuki again.
By the way, in March, I saw Danjuro's "Nanbuzaka" and Nizaemon's "Toyoshou Tsuna" in the Genroku era Chushingura at the Kabukiza Theater. Kabuki is fun if the theater is good and the actors are also available.
That's why it was a day of consecutive holidays immersed in the Edo atmosphere. Above
