Wankyusue no Matsuyama

Japanese: 椀久末松山 - わんきゅうすえのまつやま

Joruri. Sewamono. 3 volumes. Written by Kikaion. There is a record of it being performed at the Toyotakeza Theater in Osaka in 1710. It was adapted into a drama called Wanya Kyubei, based on a true story about an Osaka merchant named Wanya Kyuemon who made a pact with a prostitute named Matsuyama, but was disowned after a life of luxury, imprisoned in a tatami room, went insane and died in 1677. In Kabuki, it became a hit piece for Yamatoya Jinbei during the Jōkyō and Genroku eras (1784-1704), and his kouta (traditional Japanese ballad) became popular among the streets. Ihara Saikaku also wrote the ukiyo-zoshi "The Tale of Wanya Issei" (The Tale of Wanya Issei), published in 1685. (→ Wanyamono)
