A kabuki term. Dressing rooms were allocated according to the rank and role of the actor. Actors below the rank of Nadai were not assigned individual rooms, but shared a large wooden-floored room on the third floor. The lower-ranking actors, called "aichu" and "chudori," would dress up in this large room. This led to the custom of calling these actors "Obeya." Also, from its location, the room was given the names "Sankai" and "Sankai-san." Because it was so spacious, the room was also used for various events, ceremonies, and rehearsals. In the past, the structure and style of the Obeya had a set pattern that was common to all theaters, but today there is no particular set pattern. However, the names "Obeya" and "Sankai-san," which refer to lower-ranking actors, are used not only in kabuki but also in the field of film.

歌舞伎(かぶき)用語。楽屋の割り振り方は、俳優の階級や役柄によって定められていた。名題(なだい)より下級の俳優は個別の部屋をあてがわれることはなく、3階に設けられた板の間の大部屋に雑居した。「相中(あいちゅう)」「中通(ちゅうどお)り」などとよばれた下回りの俳優たちは、この大部屋で扮装(ふんそう)をした。そこで、これらの俳優のことを「大部屋」とよぶ習慣が生まれた。また、その場所から、「三階」「三階さん」の呼び名も行われた。場所が広いため、各種の行事や儀式、あるいは稽古(けいこ)などにもこの大部屋を使った。古くは大部屋の構造や形式に型があり、各劇場共通だったが、現在はとくに定まっていない。しかし、下回りの俳優をさす「大部屋」「三階さん」の呼称だけは、歌舞伎に限らず映画の分野でも使われている。 [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 |
