Category:Seven Komachi (Nana komachi)

Seven Komachi Nana komachi 七小町 was originally a group of noh play based on seven legendary events from the life of Ono no Komachi. They are titled:

• Shimizu Komachi 清水小町 (sometimes read Kiyomizu Komachi)
• Amagoi Komachi 雨乞小町
• Sōshi Arai Komachi 草紙洗小町
• Kayoi Komachi 通小町
• Ōmu Komachi 鴎鵡小町
• Sekidera Komachi 関寺小町
• Sotoba Komachi 卒塔婆小町

There is a poem by Ono no Komachi associated with each play. It has become a common topic for sets of Japanese prints and for other art forms. For more information, see [http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/n/nanakomachi.htm nanakomachi　七小町 page on the JAANUS web site]
