에도시대 가이초(開帳)의 미세모노(見世物)와 게사쿠(戯作)

Abstract

Kaicho(開帳) is an event that is open to believers for a certain period of Buddhism that usually can not be worshiped in the temple. It was spread throughout the country during the Edo period. Kaicho was an important part of the lives of ordinary people living in Edo. A large group of people are gathered in Kaicho, which is performed in the city, and the planners who want to earn money for them come together and open various businesses. There is a teahouse around the opening of Kaicho, a play like archery on an empty spot, and a Misemono(the Shows, 見世物) that show on a tent. This phenomenon did not end in Misemono, but it was also drawn on Gesaku and Ukiyoe. Among the Edo Gesaku, many of these expressions of Mitate are seen in Kibyoshi. One of Misemono “Tondarareiho(とんだ霊宝)” is a parody of Kaicho which began in 1777. That was performed on the popularity of this Kaicho. Tondareiho is a combination of dried fish to make Buddhist statues. Tondareiho is a Show that was performed until the end of the Tokugawa Bakufu, and created works of art that used the method in literary works. This study investigates the phenomenon of parody play as a play of the common people at the time, which is a book that was triggered by Tondareiho and the parody of Kaicho. The significance of this paper was the starting point in questioning the period of the Tondareiho, which is described in Asakura Mussei's “Research of Misemono” published in 1928. I thoroughly investigated the data to confirm this. Next, Odokekaicho(おどけ 開帳), which started in April 1785, was seen as a Tondareiho in Edo. It can be assumed that what was called Odokereiho in Kamigata was called Tondarareiho in Edo.
