Inspired by Tsuruya Nanboku IV
The Phantom Posthumous Masterpiece / Kabuki Play
"Jakko Kadomatsu Go Manzai" (The Afterlife New Year's Dance) (1829)

[History and Overview of the Play]
Created in the 12th year of Bunsei (1829).
Known as the "Phantom Posthumous Work" of Tsuruya Nanboku IV (Great Nanboku), written by the playwright himself for his own funeral upon realizing his approaching death.
It was not performed as a commercial play but is legendary for being distributed to attendees at Nanboku's funeral or performed as entertainment, making it an extremely unique work.

[Highlights: The Manzai of the Corpse and the Monk]
1. Resurrection of the Dead:
In the middle of the wake, Nanboku's corpse rises from the coffin and begins to dance, treating the chanting monk as his comedy partner (Saizo). A surreal and grotesque composition.
2. Funeral Satire:
Dialogue that thoroughly satirizes the "money" and "greed" surrounding death, such as prices for posthumous Buddhist names, incense offerings, and inheritance disputes.
3. The Farewell Dance:
A dry, frantic dance number that eliminates sentimentality, embodying his philosophy: "As long as evil exists, the world will never end."
