First I will write about Chushingura, The Treasury of Loyal Retainers.
Last Friday, 47 Ronin staring Keanu Reeves has been released inJapan
The movie is based on a famous fiction samurai story, Chushingura, The Treasury of Loyal Retainers
Kanadehon Chushingura (The Treasury of Loyal Retainers) is based on a true incident which took place between 1701 and 1703 inEdo period. It is Japan
The central story concerns the daimyo Enya Hangan, who is goaded into drawing his sword and striking a senior lord, Ko no Morono . Drawing one's sword in the shogun's palace was a capital offense.
So Hangan is ordered to commit seppuku, or ritual suicide by disembowelment and and his domain confiscated.
Next year, in 1702, 47 of Asano's retainers avenged his death by attacking and killing Kira and immediately became heroes among commoner.
In 1748, the puppet play "Kanadehon Chushingura" appeared.
Since then, Chusingura has been the single most popular play in all Japanese theatre.
Not only puppet play, the story has been told in kabuki, bunraku, stage plays, films, novels, television shows and other media.
Now Kanadehon Chushingura is in performance in kabuki theater.
