Tokiwazu “Otoko-Eguchi-Onna-Saigyō-hanafubuki-Fuji-no-sugegasa”, which was first performed
as the first number in
Koizome-Sumidagawa at the Edo Ichimura-za in the third month
of Hōreki 8 (1758), is a dance drama incorporating content from the Noh
Eguchi into the world
of
Fuji-Asama-mono, with tales from the pleasure quarters as highlight. This piece is epochal in
that it uses a youth called Fujitarō as the vengeful protagonist who did not appear in preceding
Fuji-Asama-mono. After its first performance, the piece was reperformed many times, was
adopted by many
“kibyōshi” and
“gōkan”, and Fujitarō even became named as the main role of
Fuji-Asama-mono in
Sekai Kōmoku; so great can we consider its influence upon the formation of the world of
Fuji-Asama-mono. Also, the
shikata-banashi method of oral and physical expression used in the tales of the pleasure quarters in this piece links to the performing arts since Genroku Kabuki, yet this piece also uses multilayered devices such as
yatsushi and
kakikae. We can also see this method of multilayered physical expression used in later
shosagoto representative of Tenmei Kabuki, including several
shosagoto composed by Nisōji.
