The play became the definitive version of the story and in turn, inspired many different works in many different genres. While waiting, Yuranosuke receives a letter from Kaoyo to the effect that Moronao is leaving for the provinces and they will need to strike soon. The multiple authorship may be responsible for some of the shifts characters undergo during the 11 acts: "Sagisaka Bannai, for example, is a comical character in the third act, but by the seventh act there is hardly a trace left of his comicality, and at the end of the play the triumph of the loyal retainers is climaxed by killing Bannai, as if he, rather than Moronao, were the chief villain. The merchant Gihei of the port of Sakai is loading onto a ship his highly illegal cargo: more than 40 sets of samurai armor and weapons. In old Japan, there was a custom known as "ada uchi" where the family or retainers of someone who was killed and whose killer could not be punished ordinarily had the right to avenge the death. Impressed by his dying sincerity, they accept the donation and allow Kanpei to sign in blood the written oath of vengeance to become the 46th member. But he has yet to return when the pimp comes to claim Kanpei's wife. Historically, this event is known as the "Akō Vendetta," and it was a great sensation. After an interlude in which a minor retainer of En'ya, Kanpei, gives into temptation to leave his post with his lover, Wakasanosuke arrives. the bunraku (puppet play) version, Chūshingura忠臣蔵 (The Treasury of Loyal Retainers) (1748) co-authored by Izumo, Shōraku, and Senryū. Keene 1971 26; "...it [Chūshingura] gives expression to the craving for excitement, color, and even violence that's the counterpart to the austere restraint and understatement more commonly held up as being 'typically' Japanese. "Kanadehon ChÅ«shingura" was so popular and successful that often the historical "Akō Vendetta" is described as the "ChÅ«shingura Incident." Attending is the governor of Kamakura, Lord Moronao (Kira), Wakasanosuke, and Lord En'ya (Asano). [14], Three years later in the Kyoto-Osaka region where censorship was reportedly lighter, Chūshingura premiered. ", Keene 1971 17: "Yuranosuke is probably the greatest role in all of Japanese drama. [5] It was first performed in August 1748 at the Takemoto-za theatre in the Dōtonbori entertainment district in Osaka, and an almost identical kabuki adaptation appeared later that year. Honzō applauds the plan, suggests that Wakasanosuke take a nap first, and immediately departs to find Moronao first to bribe him. A fierce battle ensues. [15], It was an instant success, and was quickly imitated countless times, with variants coming out annually between 1706 and 1748.[16]. En'ya is placed under house arrest. The neighboring mansions attempt to interfere, but when the rōnin's mission is explained, they applaud and return home. 2 rōnin visit to inquire about the preparations. En'ya sends his retainers a message that he and Moronao have been charged with the welcoming of Tadayoshi the next day. "[25], Yuranosuke in this speech is cloaking his true intentions, as he must constantly through the play,[26] rendering him a challenging role. Kanpei does not see clearly the body in the dark, but takes the money as a gift from heaven and hurries home with his donation to find the other rōnin. The shōgun's envoys arrive with En'ya's sentence: seppuku, confiscation of En'ya's estate, and the reduction of his men to rōnin. One rainy day, he meets on the highway a fellow rōnin. But it deftly interweaves these stories with all kinds of fictional characters and incidents that broaden the story. ", Keene 1971 14: "From the moment of this superb entrance, Yuranosuke is unmistakably the hero of the play, and his particular virtue, loyalty, is its theme. [5], During this portion of the Edo period, the major dramatists preferred not to write for the kabuki theater since the kabuki actors frequently departed from the texts to invent parts and aggrandize their own roles; however, Chūshingura was so successful that it was almost immediately adapted for the kabuki theater as well. Unfortunately, when En'ya arrives, he comes bearing a note from his wife to Moronao; it is a poem from the Shin Kokin Wakashū which indicates her definitive rejection of Moronao's love. The shōgun Ashikaga Takauji has put down the Genko uprising led by the nobleman Nitta Yoshisada, and has built a shrine to the kami of war Hachiman to commemorate his victory. "ChÅ«shingura" means "treasury of loyal retainers." It is one of the most popular Japanese plays, ranked with Zeami's Matsukaze, although the vivid action of Chūshingura differs dramatically from Matsukaze. al., Takeda Izumo, Miyoshi Shoraku, unknown edition, Edition Notes Added t. p.: Kanadehon chūshingura (romanized form) Includes a metrical version of the Ballad of Takasago, and specimens of original text in Japanese characters. So while "Kanadehon ChÅ«shingura" is a story of feudal virtue, it also is a story of how carrying out that vendetta came at the expense of all kinds of sacrifice. ", Keene 1971 26; "It would be hard to imagine two works for the theater more dissimilar than the Nō play. "Kanadehon ChÅ«shingura" uses these historical characters and situations to dramatize the original historical incident.
