On Shimizu and Nukegara, Kyogen Pieces

Creators Inada Hideo

Concerning Shimizu and Nukegara, we made a consideration of the following points of the plan : 1)There is some possibility that the idea of Shimizu was affected by the tale of a man (for example Tamamizu, No piece) who threw himself into the water and turned into a 'Oni'. 2)There is some possibility that the plot of Nukegara was affected by the tale of a man (for example Koga Saburo) who turned into a big snake and returned to his normal figure. 3)Two typical 'Tarokaja' (the most famous character in Kyogen) were detected in Shimizu and Nukegara.
