Iwai HanshirÅ I
Iwai HanshirÅ I (岩井åŠå››éƒŽ (1代目), 1652–1699) was a Japanese kabuki performer, known both for his own work and for his role as the progenitor of a family of kabuki actors[1] from Osaka.[2]
Iwai HanshirÅ was a stage name with significant cultural and historical connotations.
In the conservative Kabuki world, stage names are passed from father to son in formal system which converts the kabuki stage name into a mark of accomplishment.[3] This actor passed the mantle of his stage name to his artistic heirs.[2]
