An early Japanese film

A melodrama by noted auteur and father of director Yoshitaro Nomura, Hotei Nomura. This is apparently the first adaptation of Izumi Kyoka's The Romance of Yushima.

The play is based on a real event that happened in Osaka in 1703. It tells the story of a forbidden love between a clerk Tokubei and a famous courtesan Ohatsu which ended in their suicide.

Written by Kawatake Shinshichi II in 1873, this play is representative of a category of works called katsureki, "Living History" plays, which sought to depict past events as accurately as possible.

It was a custom since 1709 for all the Edo theaters to produce a sogamono as new year program. The highlight of this drama was always a colorful and stylized confrontation scene between two Soga brothers and the murderer of their father Suketsune.

The play "Ehon Taikōki" was originally written for the puppet theater (Bunraku) and staged for the first time in 1799 in Ōsaka at the Toyotakeza. It was adapted for Kabuki the next year by Nagawa Tokusuke I. The play consisted originally of thirteen acts, one act for each day that passed between Akechi Mitsuhide's murder of Oda Nobunaga and his death at the hand of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The tenth act is the only one which has survived. This act tells of an incident during the battle in which Mitsuhide was finally defeated.
