A technique in the creation of Kabuki scripts. It is also called "Kakigae" for short. It is a method of creating a new work by using the characters and main scenes of popular and repeatedly performed Kabuki or Bunraku puppet theatre works as they are. Rather than creating a completely new work, the method of creating a new work by rewriting a well-known work from the past was not only used in the performing arts, but also in the field of literature during the Edo period. In particular, in the case of Kabuki, it was prohibited to perform a straightforward adaptation of a tabloid-like incident from the streets, so when creating a work with such content, it was necessary to use well-known character names and make it look like an old work on the surface. However, the method of creating a new work by inventing a "story" while using a so-called "world" is quite common, and not all of them are called kakigae kyogen. It is limited to works of domestic or domestic dramas in which a specific work is completely rewritten while making the audience aware of it. Works such as "Chushingura," "The Diary of the Two Butterflies' Quarters," "Natsumatsuri Naniwa Kagami," and "Godairiki" have given rise to many rewritten versions of Kyogen.

歌舞伎(かぶき)脚本制作上の一つの技法。略して「書替(かきかえ)」ともいう。人気があり繰り返し上演される歌舞伎や人形浄瑠璃(じょうるり)の作品の登場人物や主要な局面をそのまま利用しながら別の作品をつくる方法をいう。まったく新しい作品を創作するのではなく、古くからよく知られている作品を下敷きにしながら、それをさまざまに書き替えて新作をつくる方法は、芸能だけでなく、江戸時代の文学の分野でも行われた。とりわけ歌舞伎の場合には、三面記事的な市井(しせい)の事件をそのまま脚色して上演することが禁止されていたから、そうした内容の作品をつくるときには、周知の役名を使って表面上は古い作品であるかのように装う必要があった。ただし、いわゆる「世界」を利用しながら「趣向」を案出して新しい作品を生み出す方法はごく一般的なもので、それらをすべて書替狂言というわけではない。お家物や世話物で、ある特定の作品を観客に意識させながら、それを全面的に書き替えた作品に限られる。『忠臣蔵』や『双蝶々曲輪日記(ふたつちょうちょうくるわにっき)』『夏祭浪花鑑(なつまつりなにわかがみ)』『五大力(ごだいりき)』などは多くの書替狂言を生んでいる。 [服部幸雄] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
