2016文化財ウィーク(47)「舞台は鎌倉から京都へ移り、夏の雨降る夜の山崎街道。お軽(かる)の実家に身を寄せて猟師に身をやつした早野勘平は、昔の同僚千崎(せんざき)弥五郎(やごろう)に出合い、敵討の金の工面を約束します（画面奥）。一方、勘平を再び武士に戻してやるため、お軽は祇園に身売りしますが、父の与市兵衛(よいちべえ)は山賊の斧定九郎(おのさだくろう)に殺され、その金を奪われてしまいます（画面手前）。折しも、猪を狙って放たれた勘平の銃弾が定九郎に命中し、勘平は誰のものとも知らぬまま、暗闇の中で触れた財布を抜き取り、約束の御用金として届けるのでした。（Kanadehon Chūshingura, Act 5）The setting then shifts from Kamakura to Kyōto. Kanpei has been living together with Okaru at her parent’s home. Disguised as a hunter, he encounters his former colleague Senzaki Yagorō and promises to raise funds for the revenge plot. To allow Kanpei to return to the life of a samurai, Okaru sells herself into prostitution in Gion red-light district, but her father Yoichibē is attacked and killed by the bandit Ono Sadakurō and that money is stolen. Just then, Kanpei fires a bullet at a wild boar but misses and hits Sadakurō. Unable to discern who the man is in the dark, Kanpei discovers a coin purse containing money and delivers it as the funds he had promised to raise.」
