Japanese: 1867年（慶応3年）、徳川慶喜の無罪を訴え薩摩藩を訴える討薩表を持ち旧幕府軍の先鋒を率い京都に向かう途中、鳥羽(洛外)の関所を守る薩摩藩士椎原小弥太と問答の末、薩摩藩陣地から発砲される。

Japanese: 天保12年(1841)芝（斯波）晋輔、天保14年(1843)には二代目河竹新七を襲名し立作者となる。
English: Shinshichi KAWATAKE II (the future Mokuami) as the newly appointed Tatesakusha had not made a smash hit for a while, but the year 1853 marked a major turning point in his career in that a play "Miyakodori Nagare no Shiranami" (commonly called Shinobu no Soda/Sota) which he wrote for Kodanji ICHIKAWA IV (the 4th) became his breakthrough work, thereafter successively exhibiting masterpieces produced in collaboration with Kodanji in the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate, including "Sannin Kichisa Kuruwa no Hatsugai" (commonly called Sannin Kichisa, meaning the Three Thieves Named Kichisa), and "Kosode Soga Azami no Ironui" (commonly called Izayoi Seishin, meaning the Love of Izayoi the prostitute and Seishin the monk) and others.

English: Even after the death of Kodanji in 1866, his creativity did not wane until well into the Meiji period, and he played an active part as a pillar in Kabuki circles in which the three top-billed actors collectively called "Dan Giku Sa" (consisting of Danjuro ICHIKAWA IX, Kikugoro ONOE V and Sadanji ICHIKAWA I) flourished.
Japanese: 慶応2年(1866)の小團次死後から明治になっても創作力は衰えず、「團菊左」という三人の名優を擁した歌舞伎界の重鎮として活躍した。

English: Feeling that he had reached the limit during drastic modernization of drama, he decided to retire in 1881 when he published a great masterpiece of Zangirimono (the cropped hair plays) which was called "Shimachidori Tsuki no Shiranami" (commonly called Shimachidori, meaning Plovers of the Island) as his once-in-a-life-time work for his retirement ('isse ichidai' in Japanese), thereafter officially 'retiring' and renaming himself Mokuami.
Japanese: 急激な演劇の近代化に限界を感じ、明治14年(1881)團菊左のために書かれた散切物の大作『島鵆月白浪』（島ちどり）を一世一代として発表後、「引退」して黙阿弥と名乗る。
English: Although he had announced his retirement, yet he remained in high demand in the absence of other excellent kyogen-sakusha (kabuki playwrights), thus continuing writing to the last breath.
Japanese: しかし他に優秀な狂言作者がいない中でひっぱりだこは変わらず、創作活動はその最期まで続けた。
English: Dialogues in the Mokuami-cho tone are called 'Yaku-harai' (a 7-5 arrangement of syllables set to music in a special lilting rhythm) in the kabuki terminology, which are spoken in the rhythmical seven-five syllable meter, exploiting rhetorical devices for waka poetry such as Kakekotoba (a type of pun that uses a word in such a way as to suggest two or more meanings) and Engo (a related or associated word), and a monologue or a dialogue among a plurality of actors spoken in the Mokuami-cho tone can produce a similar effect to that of an aria or duet in an opera.
Japanese: 歌舞伎界では「厄払い」と呼ばれ、リズミカルな七五調に掛詞・縁語を駆使し、一人で或いは複数で語ることでオペラのアリアや二重唱のような効果を上げている。
English: In more detail he was very good at writing Shiranamimono (play featuring sympathetic or tragic rogues and thieve as protagonist), and bandits described by him are rather timid and the disadvantaged who are tossed about by ill luck.
Japanese: 内容的には白浪物（盗賊が主人公となる）を得意としたが、そこに登場する悪人たちは、むしろ小心で因果に翻弄される弱者である。
English: He has been often compared to Nanboku TSURUYA IV (the 4th), but a big difference from his is that Nanboku's kabuki features impudent rascals.
Japanese: 鶴屋南北(4代目)と比較されることが多いが、ふてぶてしい悪人が登場する南北の歌舞伎との大きな相違点である。
English: While depicting ordinary people at the bottom of the social ladder in a finely detailed realism, Mokuami's style of writing remained highly lyrical by exploiting Geza-ongaku (music and sound effect playing in the corner at stage right, which is also called Kuromisu-ongaku [black bamboo curtain music] or Misu-uchi-ongaku [music played inside the black bamboo curtain]) and Joruri (literally meaning 'pure crystal,' which refers to the narrative which accompanies a Bunraku puppet show).
Japanese: 市井の底辺社会を写実的に描く反面、下座音楽や浄瑠璃を駆使した叙情性豊かな作風である。
English: After the Meiji period, he worked on writing the lyrics for Matsubamemono (Noh-based kabuki dance dramas on the pine board set) which was a new style of dance adopting the Nogaku (the art of Noh) style, major works of which included "Funa Benkei" (Benkei Aboard Ship) and "Momijigari" (Viewing the Autumn Foliage).
Japanese: 明治以降は、『船弁慶』や『紅葉狩』など能楽風の新しい舞踊である松羽目物の作詞を担当した。
English: In his later years, he published his own complete works "Kyogen Hyakushu" (Collection of One Hundred Kabuki Plays) which included scripts he had written himself, thus endeavoring to popularize kabuki.
Japanese: 晩年は自作脚本を全集本『狂言百種』として発表し歌舞伎の普及に努めた。
English: His daughter Ito took a husband as an adopted heir of the Kawatake family, who was Shigetoshi KAWATAKE, known as a professor emeritus of Waseda University and a researcher of drama.
Japanese: 娘・糸は河竹家の養子として早稲田大学名誉教授・演劇研究家の河竹繁俊を迎えた。
English: Ito and Shigetoshi's son and a great grandson-in-law to Mokuami is Toshio KAWATAKE who was, like his father, a professor emeritus of Waseda University and a researcher of drama.
Japanese: その子で、黙阿弥の義理の曾孫に当たるのが、同じく早大名誉教授・演劇研究家の河竹登志夫である。
English: Incidentally, the name 'Mokuami KAWATAKE' has traditionally been used more often than 'Mokuami FURUKAWA,' but a kabuki researcher Yoshimi AKIBA pointed out an erroneous use of the name.
Japanese: なお古来「河竹黙阿弥」の名が多く用いられているが、歌舞伎研究者の秋葉芳美によると、これは正しくないという。
English: The truth is that after renaming himself from Shinshichi KAWATAKE II (the Second) to Mokuami in 1881, the name Mokuami alone was recorded in official documents such as banzuke (literally, ranking lists, which referred to kabuki playbills), and he did not call himself KAWATAKE.
Japanese: 明治14年（1881年）に二代目河竹新七を黙阿弥と改めてからは、番付類にはただ黙阿弥とのみ記し、河竹とは名乗っていない。
English: Furthemore, since 1884 when he had Kinsaku TAKESHIBA succeed to Shinshichi KAWATAKE III (the Third) and changed the name of Noshin KATSU to Noshin KAWATAKE, as a kyogen-sakusha (kabuki playwright), he had used until his death a signature of Mokuami FURUKAWA in every official document such as banzuke (playbill), shohon (promptbook) and daicho (kabuki scripts), thus leaving no evidence of using a signature of 'Mokuami KAWATAKE' by himself.
Japanese: さらに明治17年（1884年）に竹柴金作に三代目河竹新七をつがせ、勝能進に河竹姓を与えて河竹能進と名乗らせてから死去するまで、狂言作者名としては番付・正本・台帳に至るまで古河黙阿弥と署名しており、本人がこれらに「河竹黙阿弥」と署したことは一度もない。
English: It is said that his kojin (successors) started to call him 'Mokuami KAWATAKE' instead of 'Mokuami FURUKAWA,' after his death, and Mokuami was not responsible for it.
Japanese: 「古河黙阿弥」を「河竹黙阿弥」としたのは死後に後人がおこなったことで、本人の知るところではないという。
