The name of a theater in Edo. It is said to have been founded in 1642 (Kan'ei 19), but there is no definite proof. Until the mid-Kanbun era (1661-73), it was a small-scale play featuring acrobatics and other acts, but around 1671 it became a large-scale theater, and with Yamamura Chodayu as its owner, it flourished as one of the four Edo theaters along with the Nakamura, Ichimura, and Morita theaters around the Genroku era (1688-1704). In January 1714 (Shotoku 4), it was ordered to close on February 8th after being involved in the Ejima incident, and the 5th head Chodayu was exiled, and the theater was abolished.

江戸の劇場名。創設年代は1642年(寛永19)といわれるが、確証はない。寛文(かんぶん)(1661~73)中期までは軽業(かるわざ)などを演じる小芝居で、1671年ごろから大芝居となり、山村長太夫(ちょうだゆう)を座元として、元禄(げんろく)(1688~1704)ごろには中村、市村、森田の各座とともに江戸四座として栄えた。1714年(正徳4)1月、絵島(えじま)事件を起こしたため、2月8日に閉場を命じられ、5世長太夫は流罪になり、座は廃絶した。 [松井俊諭] 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 |
