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