This refers to a phrase indicating the content or theme, or the name of a man or woman, written on two lines above the title (outer title) of a Joruri or Kabuki play or the title of a book. It is usually written as a couplet. Old examples in Joruri include "Chubei/Umekawa: Meido no Hikyaku" from 1711 (Shotoku 1) and "Father from China/Mother from Japan: Kokusenya Kassen" from 1715, and in Kabuki "Azai Geki/Kuro Kosode: Tsuwamono Gongen Soga" from 1701 (Genroku 14). In "Denki Sakusho," which describes kabuki from the end of the Edo period, it is written that "Kaku-gai-dai is written on the shoulder of the dai-gai-dai, and Wari-gai-dai is written to the side of the dai-gai-dai." Other works include "Tokai/Road Trip: Hizakurige" and "Beef Shop/Chat: Agura Nabe." [Jiro Yamamoto] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
浄瑠璃(じょうるり)、歌舞伎(かぶき)の名題(なだい)(外題(げだい))や書物の題名の上に、その内容や主題を示す文句、あるいは男女の名を、二行に割って書いてあるものをいう。たいていは対句(ついく)になっている。浄瑠璃では1711年(正徳1)の『忠兵衛/梅川 冥途(めいど)の飛脚(ひきゃく)』、1715年の『父は唐土/母は日本 国性爺合戦(こくせんやかっせん)』、歌舞伎では1701年(元禄14)の『浅黄綌(げき)/黒小袖 兵根元曽我(つわものごんげんそが)』が古い例である。幕末の歌舞伎について記した『伝奇作書』には「角外題とは大外題の肩に書くを云(いい)、割外題とは大外題の脇(わき)に書くをいふ」とある。ほかに『東海/道中 膝栗毛(ひざくりげ)』『牛店/雑談 安愚楽鍋(あぐらなべ)』など。 [山本二郎] 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 |
