Description
舞台は19世紀末のホノルル、らい病に苦しむ貧しいカナカ人の主人公・ムルカラニが『袈裟御前』の主役を演じる女優・美蘭嬢に救われる物語。美蘭嬢は日本武士の父と白人の母の混血で、他にも人種的に多様な登場人物が描かれる。口絵は『源平盛衰記』に書かれた平安末期の女性・袈裟御前と思われるが、この小説の一場面や登場人物を描いたものではない。 /
Description of the associated story (see Is Part Of): Set in late 19th-century Honolulu, this is the story of Murukarani, a poor Kanaka man suffering from leprosy, who is saved by the actress Miran-jō, who plays the lead role in "Kesa Gozen." Miran-jō is a woman of mixed Japanese samurai and white heritage, and other racially diverse characters are also depicted.
Description of the kuchi-e: the woman seems to be Kesa Gozen from the historical text "Genpei Seisuiki," but it does not a scene or a character from the associated story.
