Ningyo-joruri. Sewamono. 3 acts. Written by Suga Sensuke. First performed in December 1768 (Meiwa 5) at the Toyotake Konoyoshi Theater, a side play in Kita-Horie, Osaka. Kaku-gaki (Sukeroku Age-maki). The Osaka Sennichiji Shinju, which took place in December 1699 (Genroku 12), was adapted into a kabuki play in Kyoto and Osaka the following year, and the story of Osaka Sennichiji Shinju was also performed in Ningyo-joruri (estimated to be in 1700). Starting with this Sennichiji Shinju, a revised version called Osaka Sukeroku Shinju Monogatari and Miyako Ichichu's Sukeroku Shinju and Cicada's Nukegara were created, forming the lineage of Sukeroku Shinju.
