  shinju   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
    The most popular theme of both kabuki and joruri was the theme of double suicide, shinju, as thwarted lovers, unable because of social restrictions to live a life together, desperately chose to kill themselves in a mutual suicide hoping to be reunited in the Pure Land of Bliss promised by Amida Buddha.
Because of the tremendous social gap between the two lovers there is no chance that such a love can result in a life-long union; this is the theme of the most famous of the shinju plays was Sonezaki Shinju, by Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1725).
Such shinju plays often inspired a rash of real double suicides, so the Tokugawa regime in 1723 stepped in and banned shinju not only on the kabuki and joruri stage, but in real life as well.

``Shinju'' might as well have been made with Dalyn Chew and Joral Schmalle in mind, or for Celia Fushille-Burke, Robert Sund and the other extraordinary dancers who are bringing it to life at Yerba Buena through the weekend.
The ballet is based on an 18th century Japanese play by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, inspired by a centuries-old tale of a pair of lovers whose passion is cruelly threatened by mysterious, metaphysical forces.
Whether these are as simple as family pressures or as mythically resonant as the whims of a god, ``Shinju'' does not explain.

 Encyclopedia article on Kabuki [EncycloZine]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Kabuki theater and ningyō jōruri, the elaborate form of puppet theater that later came to be known as bunraku, became closely associated with each other during this period, and each has since influenced the development of the other.
The famous playwright Chikamatsu Monzaemon — one of the first professional playwrights of kabuki — produced several influential works, though the piece usually acknowledged as his most significant, Sonezaki Shinju (The Love Suicides at Sonezaki), was originally written for bunraku.
Like many bunraku plays, however, it was adapted for kabuki, and it spawned many imitators — in fact, it and similar plays reportedly caused so many real-life "copycat" suicides that the government banned shinju mono (plays about lovers' double suicides) in 1723.
