The name of a period of early Kabuki. Kabuki began as a form of dancing performed by women, represented by Okuni of Izumo, but in 1629 (Kan'ei 6), "Onna Kabuki" was banned, and instead, Wakashu Kabuki emerged to the forefront of society. It developed from the performing arts of young men that had been performed in parallel since the heyday of Onna Kabuki. However, this was also banned in 1652 (Shoo 1) on the grounds that it corrupted public morals. The Wakashu Kabuki era lasted for a short period of just over twenty years. The art was not much different from Onna Kabuki, but it is characterized by the development of the art of dancing by the young actors who played the leading roles, the growing influence of Noh and Mai-Kyogen, and the incorporation of acrobatic performances. Representative actors include Saruwaka Kanzaburo, Tamagawa Sennojo, and Ukon Genzaemon, and many of them continued to be active in the subsequent "yaro kabuki" period.

初期歌舞伎の一時期の名称。歌舞伎の創始は出雲(いずも)の阿国(おくに)に代表される女性による踊りの芸能だったが、1629年(寛永6)「女歌舞伎」が禁止され、かわって若衆歌舞伎が社会の表面に現れてきた。すでに女歌舞伎全盛時代から併行して行われていた若衆の芸能が発達したものである。だが、これも風俗を乱すとの理由により、1652年(承応1)に禁止される。若衆歌舞伎の時代は二十数年間という短期間だった。その芸は女歌舞伎とあまり変わらなかったが、主演者の若衆俳優によって舞の芸が発達したこと、能や舞狂言の影響が強まったこと、軽業(かるわざ)芸を取り入れたことなどに特徴がある。代表的俳優は猿若(さるわか)勘三郎、玉川千之丞(せんのじょう)、右近(うこん)源左衛門らで、その多くは次の「野郎歌舞伎」の時代にも引き続いて活躍した。 [服部幸雄] [参照項目] |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 |
