The beauty of form is concentrated in the scene that each man makes Mie (a pose) while saying 'watarizerifu' (dialogue passed along), and makes a speech using rhythmical 'tsurane' (range) in shichigo-cho (seven-and-five syllable meter rhythm) commanding engo (associated words) and kakekotoba (pivot words). 一人ずつ「渡り台詞」で見得を切り、縁語や掛詞を駆使した七五調のリズミカルな「連ね」で名乗る姿には歌舞伎の様式美が凝縮されている。 |
