Sewamono
Sewamono (世話物) is a genre of contemporary setting plays in Japanese traditional theatre. The term applies to both bunraku and kabuki. The genre is in contrast to "period setting plays" or jidaimono. Though the distinction between "historical" and "contemporary" is not exact, and there are also plays that do not fit either category.〔Earl Roy Miner, Hiroko Odagiri, Robert E.

In the typical plot the couple's feelings (''ninjo'') come into conflict with some social obligation or pressure (giri). This latter may involve a rival for the favours of the ..."〕 The engirimono, cut-knot-thing meaning “drama of cutting the lovers' knot" such as Namiki Gohei's ''Godairiki Koi no Fujime'' is a subcategory of sewamono.〔Keiko I. McDonald Japanese Classical Theater in Films -1994 Page 104 "Actually, this subclass sewamono is called an engirimono play, which may be rendered “drama of cutting the lovers' knot."
