The "Kanjincho" that was performed during the early Showa Period - with Koshiro MATSUMOTO the Seventh cast as Benkei, Kikugoro ONOUE the Sixth as Yoshitsune, and Uzaemon ICHIMURA the Fifteenth as Togashi - in particular was considered a masterpiece, and the performance was also recorded on film.
特に昭和初期の松本幸四郎(7代目)の弁慶・尾上菊五郎(6代目)の義経・市村羽左衛門(15代目)の富樫による『勧進帳』は絶品で、映画にも記録された。
