	The tall tale of an unholy trinity \| The Japan Times Online
		Mokuami, who spent 50 years of his life writing kabuki, focused on the men who made their living via unlawful means.
		As seen within the moral framework endorsed by the shogunate, however, Mokuami's heroes are not villains but rascals, resigned to their own violent fates and to the laws of cause and effect.
		Mokuami's heroes, he says, wouldn't hesitate to carry out the most atrocious deeds, yet they are loyal to their friends and act according to their sense of giri (obligation).

	Invitation to Kabuki \| Eminent playwrights

	What's Hamlet to Japan
		In 1878-9 the famous kabuki scriptwriter Kawatake Mokuami (Kawatake Shinshichi the Second) made a (prose) abridgement of Hamlet with a view to a stage performance, though it was never produced.
		Kawatake surmises that Mokuami’s Hamlet was not acted because of the theater’s temporary conservative turn in 1879—a reaction to its previously having succumbed to various government attempts to reform the stage (Kawatake 1972, 73-81).
		Kawatake suggests that the actor playing Hamlet, Asajiro Fujisawa, was unable to express the depth of thought and emotion in the fourth soliloquy (1972, 234-51).

	As fresh as a girl -- age 82, and male \| The Japan Times Online
		This month the Kabukiza is staging two masterworks by Shinshichi Kawatake III (1842-1901), a disciple of the renowned 19th-century kabuki playwright Kawatake Mokuami.
		In the afternoon program is "Botan Doro (The Peony Lantern)," adapted by Kawatake in 1892 from a work by the famous rakugo storyteller San'yutei Encho (who also inspired two ghost stories in the August program; see The Japan Times, Aug. 21).
		The evening selection contains the highlight of this month's program -- Nakamura Jakuemon's performance in Kawatake's 1888 "Kagotsurube." This drama tells the story of Jirozaemon (Nakamura Kichiemon), a pockmarked, middle-aged silk merchant from Sano in Tochigi Prefecture, who is ruined by his love for Yatsuhashi, the most famous courtesan in Edo's Yoshiwara pleasure quarters.

		After reading this play, do you think that Mokuami was influenced by Western culture?

		Suffice it to say that they involve disguise, abduction, female impersonation, beheading, and the endless pursuit of a precious incense case.

		The playwright Kawatake Mokuami composed a drama based on the first ten parts of the novel, which was produced, under the same title, at the Kawarasaki Theater in Edo in the 7th month of 1852 with Ichikawa Danjuro VIII in the leading role.

	Sinister Designs: Yoshitoshi Tsukioka
		Shirakoya Okuma was a historical figure, executed in 1747 for murdering her husband to run off with her lover.
		Since the early Meiji government forbade the portrayal of women onstage as evil (don't ask me why), she and her lover were portrayed in Kawatake Mokuami's 1873 drama as victims of Shinza, an ex-gangster hairdresser, and being freed in the end.
		The play involves any number of complications, including kidnap, rape, extortion and flmail, but no murder that I can find, and ends up with Shinza being cheated out of his ransom by his own landlord.
