Business Overview
This is the revival performance after 244 years of the work written by Gennai HIRAGA for the Yuki-za Theater. The playwright and director is Kano Yukikazu of Hanakumishibai, and the composer is Tsurusawa Tsugatoshi, a Living National Treasure. He boldly created the story of women who were involved in the affairs of Yoshimine NITTA, a younger brother of Yoshioki NITTA, by adding a scene from the prequel "Shinrei Yaguchi-watari" to "Aragoryo Nitta Jintoku." Although it is a reprise of a classic play, it also incorporates elements of a new play, making this a performance that can be said to be a return to the roots of the Yuki Theater, which has been active in the "double wheel of classics and new plays."

Profile
[Edo Itoayatsuri Ningyo Yuki Za]
During the Edo period when Japanese culture flourished, the first Magosaburo YUKI started his company in Nihonbashi in 1635 (Kanei 12), and it became a company authorized by the bakufu. Magosaburo YUKI the 13th currently serves as the leader. Under the slogan of "two wheels of classics and new works," he has been deepening the classics and traditions, while also projecting the spirit of social satire and avant-garde on the stage in contemporary theater. It has performed not only in Japan but also in dozens of countries around the world, and is the only Itoayatsuri puppet theater company in Japan that has been designated as an intangible cultural property of the nation and Tokyo.
