Kogeki hasshu (eight old dramas) (古劇八種)

Kogeki hasshu is a family's specialty (iegei) of Danzo ICHIKAWA, Mikawaya (Kabuki), that Danzo ICHIKAWA VI had picked out.

Although they are said to be star roles of Danzo ICHIKAWA I, their details are unknown. Seitaro ATSUMI, a kabuki critic, conjectures that some of the programs are related to aragoto (Kabuki play featuring exaggerated posture, makeup, and costume).
