Okamoto's version premiered in February 1916 at the Hongōza in Bunkyō, Tokyo, starring Sadanji Ichikawa II and Shōchō Ichikawa II.[1] It is notable for being a much more romantic adaptation of the story, similar to the kabuki version of Botan Dōrō. This was an influence of the Meiji Restoration, which brought Western plays to Japan for the first time. Western plays were much more noticeable for romantic elements, and this was adapted into a style of theater known as Shin Kabuki, or New Kabuki. Shin Kabuki was ultimately an unsuccessful merger of East and West,[citation needed] although Okamoto's Banchō Sarayashiki remains as one of the few classics.
