One of the earliest performances listed online is the first Kabuki adaptation of Chikamatsu Monzaemon’s puppet theater drama “Heike Nyogo no Shima”, starring Anegawa Shinshirô I and Matsushima Hyôtarô just to name a few, dating all the way back to February 1720. The production itself was written the previous year in 1719 by Takeshima Kôzaemon II of Osaka. Shinshirô would later become a popular icon in the business as “Zamoto” in November 1742.
