Nansō Satomi Hakkenden
At the trial performance, guests gave us some comments and one of them said that the key point of this drama was like "Nansō Satomi Hakkenden." Well, what point of Hakkenden is related to our drama Nocturne?
Nansō Satomi Hakkenden is a Japanese 106 volume epic novel by Kyokutei Bakin, published from 1814 to 1842.
Set in more than 500 years ago (Muromachi era), Hakkenden is the story of eight samurai brothers and their adventures, with themes of loyalty and family honor, as well as Confucianism, bushido and Buddhist philosophy.
Husehime, a daughter of a lord Yoshizane Satomi, get married to a dog by the curse of a demon. She kills herself because she is shocked to hear that she get pregnant. When she commits suicide, eight big balls with eight Japanese letters (仁・義・礼・智・忠・信・孝・悌) of her bead are scattered into the sky. Later there appears eight young men with the name of dog, the tattoo of peony, and the balls with each letter.
This episode (each samurai brother has the tattoo of peony) might be related to our drama. It is the sign making sure when one meets the fated person. It seems that peony is used as the tattoo because the perfume of peony has mysterious power to control dogs' power. In the drama we use a shooting star, Halley's commet as a tattoo in spite of peony.
"Dragon Ball (a Japanese manga by Akira Toriyama) "seems to get ideas from Hakkenden as well as "Journey to the West (Saiyuki)". Wow, it's interesting!
