A new school play by Shotaro Kawaguchi. The novel of the same title was serialized in the September to December 1935 issue of All Dokumono and was adapted by the author himself. It premiered at the Meijiza Theater in Tokyo in November of the same year. The case of Hanai Oume, a Yanagibashi geisha who adored the kabuki actor Sawamura Gennosuke, killing box shop owner Yasugi Minekichi, is dramatized in Kawatake Mokuami's Tsukitoume Kaoru Oboroyo (1888) and Kanaya Koume (1919), adapted by Mayama Seika from a novel by Ihara Seiseien. In Kawaguchi's version, Oume is portrayed as a passive, demure woman, the opposite of the traditional version, and Minokichi (Minekichi) is not an enemy but a pure, devoted man, and the story, including Sen'e (Gennosuke), is a tragic tale of pure love caused by the entanglement of emotions. Hanayagi Shotaro's Oume and Oya Ichijiro's Minokichi were both great roles. [Toki Michiko] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
川口松太郎の新派戯曲。『オール読物』1935年(昭和10)9~12月号連載の同題の小説を原作者が自ら脚色。同年11月東京・明治座初演。歌舞伎(かぶき)役者沢村源之助を慕う柳橋芸者花井お梅が箱屋の八杉峰吉を殺した事件を劇化したものには、河竹黙阿弥(もくあみ)の『月梅薫朧夜(つきとうめかおるおぼろよ)』(1888)や伊原青々園(せいせいえん)の小説を真山青果(まやませいか)が脚色した『仮名屋小梅』(1919)があるが、川口作では、お梅は従来とは逆の受け身一方のおとなしい女であり、巳之吉(みのきち)(峰吉)も敵役でなく純情いちずの男で、仙枝(源之助)も含めて感情のもつれから起きた純愛悲劇になっている。花柳(はなやぎ)章太郎のお梅、大矢市次郎(いちじろう)の巳之吉はともに当り役の一つであった。 [土岐迪子] 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 |
