HASEGAWA Shigure (1879-1941) is known for Kyūbun Nihonbashi, Kindai bijinden, and others. Some of her Kabuki plays and dance pieces are often performed even today. Sakura-fubuki is Hasegawa's second Kabuki play, first performed by ONOE Kikugorō VI at Kabuki-za in February 1911 and much appreciated by Kabuki actors and producers. This paper points out that the play took the story from “Katsuko” in “Meiryo-Kohan” written in the Edo era, paying particular attention to the nun in the play, named Sayuri.
