Kika Fujiwara’s renewed popularity as an actress Hiroko Mita’s stock rose after her affair with Shikan Nakamura… The “pecking order and popularity” of the wives of the narien (pear orchard)
I think they are doing a very good job.”
So says one of the wives of Nashien.
I have no connection with her. I have the impression that you are studying very hard every day, and your work, which is not visible on the surface, such as greeting people and doing clerical work, has not changed at all. She takes her work very seriously, even the work that is completely invisible to the outside world, such as greeting people and doing paperwork. I wonder when she sleeps, even though she also works in the entertainment industry. Even among the wives of the Ewives of Nashien, there are some who say, “In the future, she will become a symbolic figure like Junko Tomiji (78). I think there are many who are her biggest fans.
Tomiji is the wife of living national treasure Onoe Kikugoro VII (81) and the mother of Terajima Shinobu (51) and Onoe Kikunosuke V (46). She is a great actress herself, having received the Medal with Purple Ribbon and the Order of the Rising Sun. She is said to be so highly acclaimed that she is compared to such “superiors. However, just as kabuki actors have a “rank” according to their family names, it is said that there is a “hierarchy” of wives in Nashien, which is determined by the “rank of the husband” and the “order in which they married.
If we are talking about “rank,” then the husband, Ainosuke, does not have a very high rank. So, Norika’s “rank” is also low, but nowadays, I think there are few wives in Nashien who are conscious of that. Tomiji, who is also at the top of the so-called “pecking order,” is a person who does not care about such things at all and is very friendly.
The mother of Danjuro Ichikawa Shirasaru XIII (46) is also a very high ranking person, but she is not the type of person who would come out in the open, and I hear that she is easy to talk to anyone. I have the impression that the world of wives in the pear orchard has been brushed up in a modern way. I think that nowadays, respectable people are more popular. Tomiji is still the most popular of them all. Kika is also quite popular.
The day may not be far off when Kika will lead the Kabuki world as the “wife of Nashien.
