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

申请人阐明了近代早期歌舞伎的主要演员市川团十郎七世的观众和赞助人的实际情况。本研究主要探讨了两部漫画短剧和一幅画框，以调查对市川团十郎七世的支持形式：《团十郎七世查库松》和《江村崎彦八卷》，这是漫画短剧选集，显示了作为主要赞助人的“Mimasu集团”的形成;以及一幅由Yadoyano Meshimori领导的“Gogawa Group”献给与Ichikawas有关的Naritasan的相框。关于市川团十郎七世的赞助人，可以肯定的是，他们不仅在江户时代，而且从北部的长崎到南部的会津若松都有活动，他们的职业也各不相同。通过使用笔名，武士，商人和演员可以转变为漫画短歌诗人。他们超越了德川幕府统治下的社会制度和秩序。由此，以支持市川团十郎七世为目标的新社会得以建立。本研究揭示了演员的支持基础结构。
