Tenichibo - Tenichibo

A character that appears in historical books, storytelling, kabuki plays, etc. In 1728 (Kyoho 13), during the reign of the 8th Shogun Yoshimune, a mountain ascetic named Ten'ichibo Kaigyo claimed to be Yoshimune's illegitimate son and was gathering ronin (masterless samurai), but was caught and executed by execution. This incident is linked to "Ooka Seidan," a collection of famous trials by Ooka Echizen no Kami. In the late Edo period, Kanda Hakuzan I became famous in the storytelling "Ooka Seidan Ten'ichibo." It was also incorporated into Kabuki, but in particular "Ogibyoshi Ooka Seidan," which was written by Kawatake Mokuami for the Shintomi-za Theatre in Tokyo in January 1875 (Meiji 8) and premiered by Tenichibo played by Onoe Kikugorou 5, Ooka Echizen-no-kami played by Bando Hikosaburo 5, and Yamanouchi Iga-no-suke played by Ichikawa Sadanji 1, was well-received as an adaptation based on rakugo, and is still occasionally performed today.

実録本、講談、歌舞伎(かぶき)脚本などの登場人物。1728年（享保13）8代将軍吉宗(よしむね)の治世に、天一坊改行という山伏が吉宗の落胤(らくいん)と自称して浪人を集めていたが、捕らえられて獄門に処せられた事件を、大岡越前守(えちぜんのかみ)の名裁判を集めた『大岡政談』に結び付けたもの。江戸末期に初代神田伯山(かんだはくざん)の講談『大岡政談天一坊』で評判になった。歌舞伎にも取り入れられたが、とくに河竹黙阿弥(もくあみ)が1875年（明治8）1月の東京・新富(しんとみ)座に書き下ろし、5世尾上(おのえ)菊五郎の天一坊、5世坂東(ばんどう)彦三郎の大岡越前守、初世市川左団次の山内伊賀亮(やまのうちいがのすけ)らによって初演された『扇音々(おうぎびょうし)大岡政談』は、講談に則して脚色したもので好評を博し、今日でもときどき上演されている。
