Horsecutting - Umakiri

Japanese: 《馬切り》 - うまきり
Horsecutting - Umakiri

...Based on the book "Okubo Musashi Abumi," the earliest kabuki play to feature the world of Oda was "Haru no Tori" (written by Mansaku Tatsuoka) at a theater in Osaka in January 1794 (Kansei 6). Later, one scene from this work became independent under the title "Umakiri" and has been passed down to later generations. After the Meiji period, many plays were performed, including "Chuko Musashi Stirrup" by Segawa Joko III (April 1869, Nakamura-za, Tokyo), "Utsunomiya Nishiki no Tsuriyogi" by Kawatake Mokuami (October 1874, Morita-za, Tokyo), "Utsunomiya Chiyon no Te Hajime" by Katsu Genzo (March 1875, Nakaza, Osaka), "Tsurise Tenjo" by Oka Kitaro (September 1922, Meiji-za, Tokyo), and "Utsunomiya Castle History" by Nukata Rokufuku.
