It's been a bit chilly in the past few days, but I came to see "Yotsuya Kaidan" in the third part of the Kabuki in September. This year, the performance of the north-south art by the Kodama combination following the "Seven Roles of Osome" in February and the "Sakurahime" in April. This is the first performance since June 1983. For the first time in 38 years.

Iyemon Mintani is a representative of the so-called "color evil" and is a perfect role for Nizaemon, but this is the second time looking at the performance record this time! I was surprised. What I felt like I was watching many times was the impression of the premiere? At the time of the first performance at the Takatama Combi, "Naosuke Gonbei" is Tatsunosuke and this time it is also a topic that his son, Midori Matsu.

As you all know that Yotsuya Kaidan is an external biography of Chushingura, when it premiered at Nakamura-za in 1825 in the late Edo period (1825), the first "Kanademoto Chushingura" and the second "Yotsuya Kaidan" were not able to perform in a long day and divided into two days ("Edo Theater History").

That kind of performance style seems to be interesting.
