| In the Medieval period, the 'Urashima Taro' from "Otogi zoshi" became a theme for picture scrolls, Noh plays, and Kyogen (a farce played during a Noh play cycle), and the story reached a much wider audience, becoming further popularized during the Edo Period. |
中世になると、『御伽草子』の「浦島太郎」をはじめ絵巻・能・狂言の題材になり、読者・観客を得て大衆化していき、江戸時代に受け継がれた。 |
