Ise Ondo Koi Netaba - Ise Ondo Koi Netaba

A Kabuki play. A domestic drama in four acts. Written by Tokusaburo Chikamatsu. Commonly known as "Ise Ondo." It premiered in July 1796 (Kansei 8) at a theater in Kado, Osaka. It is an unusual play that quickly dramatizes an incident that occurred in May of the same year at "Aburaya" in Furuichi, Ise, where a doctor named Mago Fukuitsuki killed nine people over a woman he knew. It later became a popular kyogen play in the summer theater, and the third act, "Aburaya," which is the highlight of the play, has a sophisticated arrangement and technique from the severing of ties to the murder, and is often performed independently. Fukuoka Mitsugi, the priest of Ise, struggles to obtain the sword Aoe Shimosaka for his former master's son Imada Manjiro, but finally gets the sword. However, Mitsugi's lover, Onon of the oil shop, pretends to be in love with Kitaroku and dislikes Mitsugi in order to steal the sword's origami from Aidama-ya Kitaroku. In anger, Mitsugi kills many people, including Kitaroku and Nakai Manno, with Shimosaka's sword, and tries to commit seppuku, but Onon and Kisuke, a cook who is his former retainer, stop him, and he heads to Manjiro with the sword and origami.

In addition, the opening act (Ainoyama, Myokencho Inn, Okake, Futamigaura) is about Mitsugu capturing the sword thieves Sugiyama Okura and Kuwahara Joshirou, and the second act (Daidaiko) is about Mitsugu being framed for stealing money from the Daidaiko and being saved by his aunt Omine. Sometimes, the play is performed in its entirety. "Aburaya" has also been adapted into Gidayu and Tokiwazu.

歌舞伎(かぶき)劇。世話物。4幕。近松徳三(とくそう)作。通称「伊勢音頭」。1796年（寛政8）7月大坂・角(かど)の芝居で初演。同年5月、伊勢古市(ふるいち)の「油屋」で医師孫福斎(まごふくいつき)がなじみの女のことで9人を殺傷した事件を、ただちに脚色した際物(きわもの)劇だが、のち夏芝居の人気狂言になり、とくに眼目の三幕目「油屋」は縁切りから殺しへの段取りと技巧が洗練され、独立して上演されることが多い。伊勢の御師(おし)福岡貢(みつぎ)は旧主の息子今田万次郎のため、銘刀青江下坂(あおえしもさか)の詮議(せんぎ)に苦心し、ようやく刀を手に入れるが、貢の愛人油屋のお紺は刀の折紙(おりかみ)を藍玉屋(あいだまや)北六から奪うため、北六になびくとみせて貢に愛想づかしをする。怒った貢は下坂の刀で北六や仲居万野(まんの)など多くの人を殺し、切腹しようとするが、お紺と旧臣の料理人喜助に止められ、刀と折紙を持って万次郎のもとへ向かう。

　ほかに、序幕（相の山、妙見(みょうけん)町宿屋、追駈(おっか)け、二見ヶ浦）は、貢が刀の盗賊杉山大蔵、桑原丈四郎を取り押さえるまで、二幕目（太々講(だいだいこう)）は、貢が太々講の金を盗んだ罪を着せられようとするのを伯母お峰に救われる話で、まれに通しで上演されることもある。なお、「油屋」は義太夫(ぎだゆう)、常磐津(ときわず)にもなっている。
