狂言　水掛聟　山本泰太郎

　能　采女　　清水　寛二

水掛聟（みずかけむこ）

　この辺りの百姓が自分の田に水がなくなっていることに気付く。見れば隣の聟の田に水が全て流れ込んでいるではないか。舅は堰を切って自分の田に水を流して帰るが、やがて聟もまた自分の田に水がなくなっているのに気付き、隣の舅の田から自分の田に水を流して帰る。

　さて翌日、顔を合わせた二人は口論となり、畦を作ったり切ったりして、互いに自分の田へ水を引いているうちに、水しぶきが舅にかかり…。

采女（うねめ）

　頃は春。奈良春日野を訪れた旅の僧が春日神社へ向うと里の女が現れる。女は僧を猿沢池に案内すると、かつて帝に寵愛された采女（帝に仕える女官）が帝の心変わりに深く哀しみ、この池に身を投げて死んだのだと語る。さらに実は自分こそその采女なのだと明かすと、女は僧に回向を頼んで池の中へと消え失せてしまう。

　夜すがら読経して僧が采女を弔っていると、やがて采女の亡霊が僧の回向に感謝しつつ現れる。

　僧は草木国土悉皆成仏の理を説いて采女の成仏を約束すると、采女も自分は既に変成男子を遂げた身だと言って往生を遂げられることを喜ぶ。

　さらに采女はかつての華やかな日々に思いを馳せて舞を舞うと、再び池の底へと姿を消すのだった…。

　地方豪族の娘で帝に仕えた才女、采女と呼ばれる女たち。その宮廷での華やかな日々と、帝に愛を捧げて死んだ女を古代の大らかな空気の中に描いた能。

overview

Kyogen Mizukakemuko Yamamoto Taitaro

Noh Uneme Shimizu Kanji

Mizukakemuko

A farmer in the area notices that there is no water in his own rice field. Looking closer, he sees that all the water is flowing into the neighboring groom's rice field. The father-in-law opens a dam to let the water flow into his own rice field before returning home, but soon the groom also notices that there is no water in his own rice field, so he lets the water flow from the neighboring father-in-law's rice field into his own rice field before returning home.

The next day, the two men meet and get into an argument, and while they are making and cutting ridges to draw water into their own rice fields, the father-in-law gets splashed with water...

Uneme

It is spring. A traveling monk visiting Kasugano in Nara heads for Kasuga Shrine, where a village woman appears to him. The woman guides him to Sarusawa Pond, where she tells him that a court lady (a female attendant to the emperor) who was once the emperor's favorite, was so saddened by the emperor's change of heart that she threw herself into the pond and died. She then reveals that she is in fact that court lady, asks the monk to pray for her soul's soul, and disappears into the pond.

As the monk chants sutras into the night to mourn the court lady, the ghost of the court lady appears, thanking the monk for the prayer.

The monk explains the principle that all plants, trees, and lands can attain buddhahood, and promises that the court lady will attain buddhahood. The court lady then replies that she has already undergone the transformation into a man, and rejoices that she will be able to attain eternal life.

The Uneme dances, thinking back to her glorious past, and disappears once again into the bottom of the pond...

The daughters of local nobles and gifted women who served the emperor, the Uneme women, are depicted in the generous atmosphere of ancient times, depicting their glamorous days at court and the woman who died devoting her love to the emperor.
