The Maiden's Tale of Ukiyo-e - The Maiden's Tale of Ukiyo-e

Japanese: 処女翫浮名横櫛 - むすめごのみうきなのよこぐし

Kabuki kyogen. Sewamono. 3 acts, 9 scenes. Commonly known as "Kirare Otomi." Written by Kawatake Mokuami. First performed in April 1864 (Genji 1) at the Moritaza Theater in Edo as "Wakaba no Ume Ukina Yokogushi." However, due to a fire the day after the opening, the play was renamed "Shojogan Ukina Yokogushi" and performed again in July of the same year when it reopened. The cast included Nakamura Shikan IV as Akama Genzaemon, Sawamura Tanosuke III as Otomi, Ichikawa Kuzo (later Ichikawa Danzo 7) as Kouyasu, and Sawamura Natsumasu II as Izutsu Yosaburo (later Suke Takaya Takasuke 4). Although it is a rewritten kyogen of "Yowanasake Ukina Yokogushi," it has an independent content and can even be said to surpass the original.

Japanese:

歌舞伎狂言。世話物。3幕9場。通称《切られお富》。河竹黙阿弥作。1864年(元治1)4月江戸守田座で《若葉梅（わかばのうめ）浮名横櫛》として初演，同芝居が初日の翌日類焼したため，同年7月再開場に際して《処女翫浮名横櫛》と改題続演した。配役は赤間源左衛門を4世中村芝翫，お富を3世沢村田之助，蝙蝠安を市川九蔵(のちの7世市川団蔵)，井筒与三郎を2世沢村訥升(のちの4世助高屋高助)など。《与話情（よわなさけ）浮名横櫛》の書替狂言だが，独立した内容を持ち，むしろ原作をしのぐとさえいえる。
