"Shintomiza Children's Kabuki"-Reitaisai festival Dedicated Performance
At Tepposu Inari Shrine Kagura Hall
On May 5th, Children's Day, the performance of "Shintomiza Children's Kabuki" was held at Tepposu Inari Shrine for the first time in three years. Under the blue sky, many people applauded the children's enthusiasm and enjoyed Kabuki. 17 years after the children's Kabuki at the Nagahama Hikiyama Festival began in Chuo-ku, this performance celebrated its 14th performance.
The actors are children in Chuo-ku, and the songs and shamisen music are sunny stages created with the cooperation of parents, graduates and local people.
Kotobuki-style Sanbaso
Sanbaso is a dance based on a work called Noh's Okina. We dance in hope of rich harvest, national security, and happiness of family. The dance in Kagura Hall reminds me of the Miko of the shrine. The sound of the bell is also wrapped in light and fresh air.
Yoshimitsu Tomoe Shiranami Okawabata Koshinzuka Place
Yoshizo, a lady in kimono, a reputational thief, steals a hundred cars and swords on Setsubun night. In a fight with the lady Yoshizo over the thief's boy Yoshizo and Hyakuryo, who were seen from behind. There, this also stopped by the thief Yoshizo Kazuo, and eventually the three thiefs became brothers.
The place of the five Shiranami men Inasegawa
"Let me know, let's tell you. Hama's Masago and Goemon left in the song, the seeds of the thief left in the song are not Tsukine Shichirigahama, ". Five men with a guard umbrella who put one on a matching beautiful small sleeve and wrote "Shiranami". The leader of the world's great bandits, Danemon Nihon and four people, Benten Kozo Kikunosuke, Tadanobu Toshihei, Juju Akahoshi, Rikimaru Nango.
When you come to the embankment of the Inase River, where cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the bad luck is exhausted, surrounded by the ambushed catchers, giving their own names, and confronting each other.
Tradition to the Future
Shintomiza, which was revived from Morita-za in 1875, and Kabukiza in 1889, built a period. Located near the current Kyobashi Tax Office, it was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and was not rebuilt as it was. Pictures and explanatory versions of the time when it was gorgeous are located next to the tax office.
In 2007, Shintomi-za Children's Kabuki was performed with the support of local people to preserve the spirit of Shintomiza in the form of local play, Chuo-ku. Earlier, I met a place where I practiced children's Kabuki at Kyobashi Plaza Kuminkan. After practicing, I showed the endless possibilities and the future of inheriting tradition in the appearance of adults performing the ruinful surifu without hesitation.
