Artwork Details
The palanquin bearer who wasn't. Modori-kago — "The Returning Palanquin" — is one of kabuki's most charming dances, and one of its slyest. Two sedan-chair bearers, Naniwa no Jirosaku from Osaka and Azuma no Yoshirō from Edo, stop to rest on a blossom-lined road, carrying a young apprentice-courtesan. They boast about their rival home towns, coax the girl out for a laugh, and generally play the pair of cheerful working blokes.
Then the twist. Each reaches into the other's coat and pulls out a hidden object — one a precious stolen incense burner, the other a scroll listing conspirators plotting against the government — and the two humble bearers realise they're actually disguised warriors on opposite sides of a deadly intrigue. It's the classic kabuki move: the commoner who is secretly someone else entirely, the whole world one costume-change away from turning dangerous. Mimasu Gen-nosuke I plays Jirosaku here.
The actor Mimasu Gen-nosuke I (三枡源之助) as Naniwa no Jirosaku (浪花の次郎作), from the kabuki production Modori kago iro ni aikata (漢人韓文手管始, The returning palanquin) 1835.
