Tomb of Gidayu Takemoto

Just a stone monument was built on the roadside. Is it only me who thinks that I want something a bit better? Well Maybe there is a real taste for this person to pass history.

Yoshimoto Takemoto was born in 1651 (Keian 4) as a peasant family in Tennoji Village (currently near Chouusancho Horikoshi Shrine) in Tennoji Ward. He began to practice Joruri about Kyoto's landlords, Uji Kaga Akira and Inoue Harima Akira, at the time. The so-called "Gitayu-bushi" was completed by incorporating the merits of "things" and "narratives". Gidayu called his joruri "the current." In 1684 (the first year of Sadayoshi), he built Takemoto-za in Dotonbori and started a Shinpo Joruri puppet show. Chikamatsu Monzaemon became the sit-in author and talked about the work, and he produced puppet joruri. He was called to the Imperial Court in 1698 (Genroku 11), received the issue of Chikugo J 掾 no, and was declared to change his name to Hironori Fujiwara. Gitayu has been in control of Osaka Geikai for about 30 years since the founding of Takemoto-za, and at that time was an authority in the art world in 60 Yoshu, but later retired to Takeda Izumo and retired in 1714. 6

However, Osaka has a discovery that feels just like walking just by walking, and this is one of them.
