Dojoji - A Lover's Duet (a kabuki dance performance)

[MartyGrossFilms]

Onoe Kikukonsuke's bio is available at Kabuki21.com. He is very important now.

Okay, I know Bando Tamasaburo, but who is Onoe Kikunosuke? For someone to parallel Bando-sama so well, this person must be of incredible skill. Anyone know?

Does someone know what the name of the music we hear in this extract is, please ?

@Bananenmilch123

"Musume Dojoji"



[MartyGrossFilms]

Yes, Dojoji originated as a Noh play. Many Kabuki plays come from the Noh tradition.

Isn't Dojoji a Noh play? I definitly saw some elements from Noh. . . But unmistakenably also from Kabuki, was it adapted?

@DuctTapedDuke

The origine of Dojo-ji story is Noh(Orifinal story - The legend of Buddhist Priest Anchin and Sneak-changed Girl Kiyohime from Kii Country).~

And, in the mid of Edo era, the story was improved by scriptwriter(and composer) - easy to play at Kabuki and Naga-uta.~

~

That is why the tale of Dojo-ji is played both Noh and Kabuki(and other classical Dance).

@Kzuuto Hmmm, really interesting. Thanks
