Fugitive - Ochiudo

Kabuki dance drama. Kiyomoto. The original title was "The Flower Bride of the Journey." Lyrics by Misuya Nisoji. Music by Kiyomoto Eijiro I. It was first performed in March 1833 (Tenpo 4) at the Kawarasakiza in Edo as a scene from "Uraomote Chushingura" by Hayano Kanpei of Ichikawa Danjūrō ​​7th and Okaru of Onoe Kikugorō 3rd. The third act "Uramon" from "Kanadehon Chushingura" was moved to the mountains of Totsuka and turned into a gorgeous dance. Its nickname comes from the opening line of the Kiyomoto, "Do even the fugitives see the young grass in the fields?" Because of its excellent music and choreography, it became a huge hit, and is often used in place of the original "Uramon" in full performances of "Chushingura."

歌舞伎(かぶき)舞踊劇。清元。本名題(ほんなだい)『道行旅路(みちゆきたびじ)の花聟(はなむこ)』。三升屋二三治(みますやにそうじ)作詞。初世清元栄次郎作曲。1833年（天保4）3月江戸・河原崎座(かわらさきざ)の『裏表(うらおもて)忠臣蔵』中の一場面として7世市川団十郎の早野勘平、3世尾上(おのえ)菊五郎のお軽により初演。『仮名手本忠臣蔵』の三段目「裏門」を戸塚山中に場面を移し、華やかな道行舞踊に仕立てたもので、通称は清元の冒頭の文句「落人も見るかや野辺(のべ)に若草の」に由来する。曲も振付けも優れているので大流行し、『忠臣蔵』の通し上演でも、原作の「裏門」のかわりに出すことが多い。
