Another eye-catching scene is 'gando gaeshi' (to pivot one large piece of scenery onto its side so as to reveal a different one) performed from a scene of Bentenkozo Seppuku (suicide by disembowelment) in Scene One (scene of Gokurakuji yane tachibara) to a scene of appearance of Daemon in Scene Two (scene of Gokurakuji sanmon) of Ozume (final act). 大詰第一場(極楽寺屋根立腹の場)の弁天小僧切腹から第二場(極楽寺山門の場)の駄右衛門登場に至る「強盗返」も目を惹く。 |
