Aisozukashi - Aisozukashi

Japanese: 愛想づかし - あいそづかし
Aisozukashi - Aisozukashi

A type of script and direction in the domestic drama genre of Joruri and Kabuki. A conflict arises between a man and a woman in a romantic relationship, leading to a tragedy when one of them forcibly breaks off the relationship, also known as "enkiri". In many cases, the woman tries to break off the relationship against her will for the sake of the man she loves's career advancement, financial means, or out of obligation. This began with Chikamatsu Monzaemon's Shinju Ten no Amijima and became a standard form after the mid-Edo period. In many cases, the man takes the woman's affection for real and has a change of heart, leading to an angry plot that kills her; good examples include Godairiki, Otsuma Hachirobei, Ise Ondo, and Omatsuri Sashichi. The stories, which have somewhat complex structures, are about women who have other lovers but are disrespectful of the man they have a crush on, such as "Sango Taisetsu," "Chijimiya Shinsuke," and "Kago Tsurube."

Japanese:

浄瑠璃(じょうるり)、歌舞伎(かぶき)の世話物における脚本、演出の一類型。恋愛関係の男女の間に葛藤(かっとう)がおこり、一方が無理に縁を切るために悲劇になる筋で、「縁切り」ともいう。多くは、女が、愛する男の出世や金策、または義理のため心にもなく縁を切ろうとするもので、近松門左衛門の『心中天網島(しんじゅうてんのあみじま)』あたりに始まり、江戸時代中期以後は定型化した。女の愛想づかしを本当の心変わりと思い込んだ男が、怒って女を殺傷する筋に発展する場合が多く、『五大力(ごだいりき)』『お妻(つま)八郎兵衛』『伊勢音頭(いせおんど)』『お祭佐七(さしち)』などは適例。構成がやや複雑で、別に情夫のいる女が、片思いの男に愛想づかしをするものに『三五大切(さんごたいせつ)』『縮屋新助(ちぢみやしんすけ)』『籠釣瓶(かごつるべ)』がある。
