Jusshukō 十酒肴(Part 5 of 5) — Kenshin's Entrance
HONCHŌ NIJŪSHIKŌ 本朝廿四更: JUSSHUKŌ 十酒肴("THE TEN TYPES OF INCENSE") [1983] (Description by Prof. Paul M. Griffith) (On this DVD, the recorded translation and narration for this scene is by Paul Griffith.) "Jusshukō" was originally from act IV of a five-act jidaimono play called "Honchō Nijūshikō" ("Japan's Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety"). It was written for the puppets in 1766 by Chikamatsu Hanji and was first staged at Ōsaka's Takemoto-za. It was performed as Kabuki in the same year at Ōsaka's Naka no Shibai.

The character of Princess Yaēgaki is classed as one of the sanhime, the three most difficult "priness roles" in Kabuki. Set in the sixteenth century, the play depicts the power struggle between warlords Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. The two are feuding over a sacred helmet bestowed upon the Takeda clan by the god of Suwa, but now in the hands of the Uesugi. In order to make peace, Takeda Shingen's son, Katsuyori, and Uesugi Kenshin's daughter, Yaēgaki, are betrothed. However, before they can be married, Katsuyori supposedly commits suicide. In fact, the Katsuyori who died was a substitute. The real Katsuyori has infiltrated Kenshin's mansion disguised as a humble gardener in an attempt to steal back the sacred helmet. He has given himself the fake name Minosaku, but Kenshin sees through this ruse <b>...</b>
