Research on actual condition of favor with the audience surrounding Ichikawa Danjuro VII

申请人对近现代歌舞伎的代表人物市川丹九七世的观众和赞助人的实际情况进行了说明。本研究主要以两幅漫画和一幅画框为研究对象，以探讨一川丹七世的一种支持形式：《丹七世查库森》和《江村崎广八章》，这两部漫画的选集显示了主要赞助人“mimasu集团”的形成；以及以谷野茂森为首的“谷川组”献给市川家族相关成田的相框。至于市川丹七世的赞助人，不仅在江户时代活跃于北至长崎，南至若松会津，而且职业也各不相同。通过笔名，武士、商人和演员都可以变成漫画式的唐卡诗人。他们超越了德川幕府统治下的社会制度和秩序。因此，支持市川丹久七世的新社会成立了。本研究揭示了演员支撑基的结构。
