Liyuan is originally another name for the Chinese opera class. Historically, Liyuan was originally a place where the emperors of the Tang Dynasty played and taught art royally, and later called the opera class Liyuan, and now, there are also many opera artists who call themselves "Liyuan children", and sometimes Peking Opera is called Liyuan.
The term "pear garden" is also borrowed from Japan and generally refers to the world of kabuki actors, because many kabuki actors are also active in the film and television industry, so the extension of "pear garden" sometimes extends to the Japanese entertainment industry. Recently, the Japanese pear garden has been stormy wave after wave, not only impacting the pear garden world, but also greatly impacting the entire Japanese society.
Where did Sawa go after 133 years?
The tragedy of the family of three of Japanese kabuki big names Ichikawa Samonosuke continues to ferment in the Japanese media. With the arrest of Sarunosuke Ichikawa on June 27, things became more and more gloomy and heavy on earth.
When it first happened, the media reported that it was "in the heart of a family", that is, a suicide together, but with the confession of Samonosuke Ichikawa, the details became clearer at that time, and according to Japanese law, it was not so easy for him to get out.
Sarunosuke Ichikawa (4th generation)
Samonosuke Ichikawa feared that he would be attacked by public opinion after the publication of "sexual harassment and power harassment of others" reported by Weekly Magazine, and that his work as a kabuki actor would also be affected, so on the afternoon of May 17, he told his parents about the incident, and the three held a family meeting. The family meeting lasted until 8 p.m.
At the family meeting, the three decide to commit suicide en masse and go to another world together to reincarnate. However, it is said that it is a family meeting, because his father Duan Shiro has terminal cancer and his life depends on his family, so the conversation is mainly between mother and child. For that upcoming article "Female Seven" published titled "Kabuki Intense Sexual Injury!" Ichikawa Samonosuke's rich sexual harassment" article, mother and son feel cornered. It is said that it is a mass suicide, but the main key person who really put it into action is Ichikawa Samonosuke.
The police investigation learned that he searched the Internet for various suicide methods and told his parents at the family meeting that the most painful way to die was to take sleeping pills and, after falling asleep, put a plastic bag over his head to stop breathing. At the family meeting, the family of three also discussed details, including that Ichikawa Samonosuke went to buy sleeping pills, that after his parents fell asleep after taking the pills, he put plastic bags on them to quickly break their breath, and that he would take both plastic bags and sleeping pill bags to the garbage dump.
The reason why Ichikawa Samonosuke is now arrested on the charge of "assisted suicide" is because he served as the main doer during this period. That day, he mashed the sleeping pills, put them in a cup, poured clean water, saw that the water turned blue, and after his parents drank it and lay down, he put a plastic bag over their heads and sealed it with family tape. These acts led to his arrest on suspicion of "assisted suicide" because the police hospital learned after an autopsy that the cause of death was "drug poisoning" rather than "asphyxiation".

The tragedy occurred on May 18, so Samonosuke Ichikawa told his parents and what would be in the weekly magazine that would be published the next day. The three of them held a family meeting, and while talking, they all decided to die. As a result, the parents died, but Samonosuke Ichikawa was still alive. After undergoing treatment, including psychiatric treatment, he was arrested by the police. It is said that the sleeping pill that caused his parents to die was prescribed by a doctor by Ichikawa Samonosuke because of poor sleep.
Why did he arrest more than 40 days after the incident, a Japanese searcher said, after all, two lives were lost, which is a very serious incident and must be carried out carefully. First, the police repeatedly questioned her mother about her drug drink and death. Because it is impossible to drink a lethal amount of sleeping pills under duress, this shows that Ichikawa Samonosuke's mother did commit suicide, but there was Ichikawa Samonosuke's help in the process.
The Ichikawa Samonosuke family is a large family in Liyuan, and the house number is Sawa Epsomaya, which has a history of 133 years. Now arrested is the fourth generation Ichikawa Samonosuke. At present, he says he has no intention of returning to the kabuki stage. It is not known whether this house number disappeared with it.
In Ichikawa's confession, he said, "Our whole family is devout followers of the Tendai sect of Buddhism, so we have no fear of death. We believe that people can be reincarnated. ”
This is also the reason why Samonosuke Ichikawa wrote a suicide note before hanging himself in the cloakroom after "disposing" his parents' drinking potion cup and the plastic bag on his head. He wrote to one of his favorite actors: "Honey, we'll see you in the next life. ”
Samonosuke Ichikawa once visited practitioners on Mt. Hiei, where the ancient Buddhist temple of Japan is located, and co-authored "Samonosuke, Visit the Thousand Days of Hiei Mountain". He believes that the mood of facing the stage every day is that every day is a new day, and every day is a reincarnation.
"Old drama bone" Teruyuki Kagawa's sexual harassment was exposed
Japan's pear orchards are not calm. Just before the accident of Shidaimei Ichikawa Samonosuke, his cousin, famous actor and kabuki celebrity Kagawa Teruyuki (Kudaimei Ichikawa Nakaru) was revealed in August 2022 that he had sexually harassed a hotel escort girl such as rubbing her chest, resulting in disgrace and heavy losses.
Teruyuki Kagawa, who was 56 years old at the time, was a famous middle-aged actor in Japan and could be called an "old drama bone". Teruyuki Kagawa played the villain "Owada" in the Japanese drama "Hansawa Naoki" in the red half of the sky and became popular, with rich and exaggerated facial expressions, which made people itch their teeth and feel funny.
Teruyuki Kagawa
In July 2019, Teruyuki Kagawa sexually harassed a female publicist in a hotel room in Ginza, he reached into the other party's clothes, took off the other party's bra, and passed it to the three men present to "smell the fragrance", and even forcibly kissed each other, and reached into his clothes to knead his chest, causing the victim to suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) afterwards.
In May 2020, the victim filed a lawsuit against "Mama-san" in the Tokyo District Court for failing to stop Teruyuki Kagawa's evil behavior. However, in 2021, the case was withdrawn from the Tokyo District Court. In the sexual harassment incident of Teruyuki Kagawa, because the victim was a drinking woman, some people felt that it was not sexual harassment, and some people speculated whether she was for money to let things suddenly exposed, and some details were also described very blatantly in various reports. Therefore, public opinion is not always friendly to the victims.
After Teruyuki Kagawa was exposed to sexual harassment three years ago, he apologized through a statement through his agency after a day of silence, admitting to sexual harassment of female publicists. The brokerage company said: "He did cause harm to women, it is true, I have deeply reflected, and I have been understood and forgiven by the other party." The company said that the report made the other party feel uncomfortable, and Teruyuki Kagawa was very sad about it, which caused a bad perception and trouble to society, and I was very sorry.
At the same time, similar revelations about Kagawa's extremely poor wine and disrespect for women were also revealed in the days of fermentation of the incident. The most lethal thing is a photo released by the Japanese media, it is said that on the day of sexual harassment, Teruyuki Kagawa pulled the "crime photo" of the head of a mother in the club. According to the report, Kagawa first stroked the mother-san's hair, then removed the hairpins one by one, and then made a mess, and the news headline bluntly described Kagawa smiling like the devil in the photo.
Teruyuki Kagawa's sex harassing female public relations scandal caused him to lose six advertising endorsements, and was cut by two TV stations and program groups of TBS and NHK, and also faced corporate claims for liquidated damages, up to 500 million yen. TOYOTA, which has attracted the most attention, said that he regretted that Teruyuki Kagawa had acted unacceptable to society, and that "this case was resolved between the parties involved, and I (Teruyuki Kagawa) deeply reflected and apologized. We will also monitor future developments. ”
Teruyuki Kagawa appeared twice after the East Window incident to apologize, bowed five times in the course of nearly 4 minutes, and finally her eyes were filled with tears, showing deep reflection and reluctance to leave the audience. But there are also many people who say: "It's all acting, really good at acting." After Teruyuki Kagawa apologized, some netizens thought that his acting career did not seem to be affected much; Some netizens soured him for "having a lewd face, not surprising", "This kind of thing happened in Japan, it is not surprising at all." ”
Teruyuki Kagawa's sexual harassment of female public relations was not settled, and was exposed by "Weekly Bunchun" to beat the female staff of the crew, and for a while, the image of powerful actors collapsed, becoming the worst demonstration of bad conduct artists.
Teruyuki Kagawa
Teruyuki Kagawa comes from a family of entertainers, his father is Kabuki artist Miyome Ichikawa Samonosuke, and his mother Hamaki Makiko was the former chief lady of the Takarazuka Opera Company Yuki and later became an actress. When Teruyuki Kagawa was 3 years old, her parents divorced. Her mother's original name was Kagawa Aduko, and Teruyuki Kagawa lived with her mother, so she took her mother's surname, did not have much contact with kabuki, and hardly met her father. It was not until 2011 that Kagawa, who had made small achievements in the entertainment industry, and her father Bingji released their previous suspicions and attacked the name Kyushirome Ichikawa Naka and officially entered the kabuki world.
Teruyuki Kagawa's own marriage also ended in divorce. In 1995, he married a former flight attendant. After marriage, the two had a son and a daughter. In July 2014, some media broke the news that Teruyuki Kagawa and his wife were separated. In December 2016, Teruyuki Kagawa and his wife officially divorced.
Teruyuki Kagawa graduated from the Department of Social Psychology, Faculty of Letters, University of Tokyo. He originally had no intention of becoming an actor, because his parents were both actors and there was nothing else he particularly wanted to do, and he eventually became an actor. In addition to "Naoki Hanzawa", which exploded in ratings, Teruyuki Kagawa also starred in "99.9: Criminal Lawyer", "How to Steal Keys", "MR. BRAIN" and many other film and television works.
Teruyuki Kagawa's eldest son is a kabuki goddesago Ichikawa dango. Teruyuki Kagawa publicly apologized, and whether sincerely or not, the industry concluded that his move may have been to save the future of his 18-year-old son. As a family of Liyuan, Teruyuki Kagawa has a son to pass on the mantle, and the son carries the reputation of his grandfather and father, and takes over the baton to enter the kabuki world, and his acting career has just begun. Japan's kabuki world values the family background, and Teruyuki Kagawa is both a help and a hindrance for his son, and it will be difficult to break through the negative image of his father in the future.
Riyuan's wife Hiroko Mita had no choice but to tolerate her husband's cheating many times
"The husband had two affairs in 4 years, and as a wife, instead of being able to blame, he had to apologize and admit that the mistake was on himself." Such an outrageous thing you think is a bloody plot in which film and television drama or who made up nonsense, then it is wrong. This is precisely the real life of Hiroko Mita, the wife of Japanese Rien.
Hiroko Mita was a popular "idol (idol)" in Japan in the 1980s, she was sweet and versatile, and her career was smooth. It may seem to everyone that the life of such a dazzling star is absolutely full and rich, but Mita Hiroko's happy life has come to an abrupt end since she married Kabuki actress Nakamura Shibaki.
At the age of 22, Hiroko Mita began dating Nakamura Shibaki, the eighth generation of Nakabuki actor who was the eighth generation of Narokaya. At that time, the status of idols was relatively low, but kabuki actors were regarded as national treasures, and everyone in Nakamura's family felt that Hiroko Mita was climbing high, and she herself felt the same.
In 1991, the two finally came together despite the opposition of their relatives. After getting married, Hiroko Mita stopped working and became her husband's "Kennasuke", saying that Kenouchi is actually a messenger.
"To marry into a kabuki family is to marry into a company." There are only two employees: husband and wife. The husband is responsible for issuing orders, and the wife is responsible for carrying out everything.
In order to be able to work well, in order not to disgrace my husband's family. She can only sleep 4 hours a day. When her husband got up, she made breakfast and prepared her luggage. While her husband goes to bed, she must continue to work to prepare for the next day... Even if Nakamura does not perform well on stage, she is not qualified to evaluate. In addition, she also learned a lot about kabuki, tea ceremony, calligraphy, etc. to show off at key moments. This is not Hiroko Mita alone, she is just a microcosm of "Liyuan wife".
Although the wealthy daughter-in-law is so difficult, Hiroko Mita still handles it with ease. She kept her husband's life in order and gave birth to three children for her in-laws. Not only that, such a good mother and wife also have to endure her husband's cheating behavior.
In September 2016, a Japanese weekly reported that kabuki actor Shibahiro Nakamura had cheated on a popular artist. Hiroko Mita's first reaction after knowing that her husband was cheating was not to accuse her husband of infidelity, but to reflect on herself, and also issued a statement saying that she would reflect well and was sorry for causing trouble to the public.
It is Hiroko Mita's "handling" that makes Nakamura even more unscrupulous.
Four years later, Nakamura was revealed to have an affair with a 32-year-old fan. In the face of the reporter's question, Nakamura Shiba did not change his face, saying that he was just chatting with the other party in the hotel.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have divorced a long time ago, but Hiroko Mita still chose to forgive this time. She apologized to people, confessed to her introverted mother-in-law, and said that she would cherish her husband in the future.
