"Aburaya Incident"

　At its prime，Abura-ya was a big Geishahouse with dozens of employees at Furuichi.
 Magofuku ltsuki was a bright ladborn in Matsuo Village (Toba City)，studied medicine
 in Kyoto and activelyworked in Ise as a skillful doctor.

　He happened to meet Okon, who laterworked at Aburaya as a Geisha girl. He
 frequented the place and the two fell inlove with each other. 0ne day they had a good
 time, when in another room someindigo plant traders from Awa (Tokushima Pref.)
 had a drinking party. Theynominated Okon to their room. A maid Oman took her out
 of Istuki's room. Itsukisuppressed his anger, but waited for her to retum in vain. Madly
 he attackedone person after another with his sword drawn. Nine people including
 Oman werekilled or wounded. He ran away to Matsuo village, where people tried to
 persuade him to give himself

up to the police. Leaving there，hewandered from place to place finally seeking refuge
 at a shinto priest's house.

　But he realized there was no escape,and there he killed himself. It was a spring day
 when he was just twenty-sevenyears old.

　So quickly spread this news far andwide as to create a big sensation in the public
 imagination. A few days laterit was scripted into a short-lived play，and became a
 Kabuki play after that.
