妖怪一座、十二の出番
Twelve Entrances, One Wild Stage
7月29日。河鍋暁斎の新富座妖怪引幕では、鬼も役者も葛籠から飛び出し、横長の舞台へ一斉になだれ込みます。それでも画面は崩れません。今日は騒ぎを消そうとせず、自分の合図を聞き、正しい瞬間に動きましょう。混沌にも出番と順序を与えれば、力になります。
On July 29, the demons and actor-monsters of Kawanabe Kyōsai’s Shintomi-za curtain surge from their trunks and across a vast theatrical field—yet the picture never loses its rhythm. Do not try to eliminate every commotion today. Listen for your cue and move at the right moment. Even chaos becomes useful when it is given an entrance and an order.
