Merchants of kaidan wikipedia professional#He was good at expressing the background of the play by sticking to his fantastic idea and realism, which features the development of his plot by mixing quite different worlds such as: having a wedding ceremony at the scene of a crime ("Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan") making a courtesan visit a row house ("Ukiyozuka Hiyoku no Inazuma") making the court noble become professional homosexual from hardship of life ("Shitenno Momiji no Edoguma") and making a princess become a prostitute ("Sakurahime Azumabunsho"). For the ghost stories, he pioneered expressions in Kabuki by affiliating with a carpenter of stage sets Kanbei HASEGAWA XI in creating ingenious stage settings. In cooperation with a wigmaker Tokuro, he devised wigs which are still used at present.

In February 1803, he became the head of resident playwrights for the first time at the age of 49, and wrote "Yoni Hibike Sakura" for Hikosaburo BANDO III. During a period of obscurity as long as 30 years, he at first took the name Hyozo SAKURADA, then Hyozo SAWA, and Hyozo KATSU. He operated a dyer's shop with his father Isaburo EBIYA, but he loved plays so much that he intended to be a playwright at last, he became a disciple of Jisuke SAKURADA, and later practiced under Sansho KANAI, Gohei NAMIKI, Jusuke NAKAMURA, and Kinpachi MASUYAMA.
