《Modern Shuten-doji》

...Kinpira Joruri, a famous old Joruri, features the "Four Heavenly Kings of Children," centered around Kintoki's son Kinpira. In Kabuki, examples of this include "The Four Heavenly Kings: Osanadachi," which is said to have been performed at the Edo Nakamura-za in 1673 (Enpo 1), "Today's Shuten-doji" at the Nakamura-za in July 1701 (Genroku 14), "Onigajo Onnayamairi" at the Edo Yamamura-za in July the following year, "The Four Heavenly Kings: Tonoi no Kisewata" (written by Sakurada Jisuke I) at the Nakamura-za in November 1881 (Tenmei 1), "The Four Heavenly Kings: Momiji no Edoguma" (written by Tsuruya Nanboku IV) at the Edo Kawarazaki-za in November 1804 (Bunka 1), and "Danmari of Ichiharano" from "Waseokute Niwasugata" (written by Sakurada Jisuke III) at the Edo Morita-za in August 1863 (Bunkyu 3). In Edo Kabuki, it was often performed at the Kaomise, but it is said that it was around the time of Choshoden Shiraga Kintoki at the Edo Ichimura-za in 1729 (Kyoho 14) that it became established as a Kaomise Kyogen.
