Seven kinds of daughters

Japanese: 娘七種 - むすめななくさ

Kabuki dance. Nagauta. Original title: Seven Types of Spring-Mixed Girls. Lyrics unknown. Composed by Kineya Rokusaburo II. Performed before the "meeting scene" of the Soga Kyogen "Hatsuakinai Omise Soga" that premiered at the Edo Nakamuraza Theater in January 1767 (Meiwa 4). Soga Goro (Ichikawa Benzō), Jūrō Sukenari (Ichikawa Kōmazō II) and Shizuka Gozen (Nakamura Tomiji) are involved in the performance of the seven types of spring dance at Kudō Suketsune's mansion. It is a bright and old-fashioned piece with a two-stage performance, full of sensuality and etherealness.
