August 1919: Kunitarô appears on stage for the last time, at the Imperial Theater, playing the roles of Oyone's ghost and Okuni in the summer ghost play "Kaidan Botan Dôrô". He suddenly dies the 13th of August 1919, victim of a heart attack. People in the Kabuki world believed that he was, along with Onoe Kikujirô III, his stage partner in the play in the role of Otsuyu's ghost who died the 27th of August 1919, victim of a curse casted by real ghosts: "there is a superstition concerning The Peony Lantern to the effect that actors who play the ghosts' rôles soon pass away. This was brought home when the play was presented at the Imperial Theatre in August 1919. During the performances two of the most promising young actors of Tôkyô, taking the rôles of mistress and maid, took ill and died within a week of each other. Nightly they had been seen, pale-faced, the hair worn long and dishevelled, the maid with the ghostly lantern in hand, moving behind the willow tree. Soon they were to become like the shades they impersonated, no longer of the earth, earthy" (Zoë Kincaid in "Kabuki, the Popular Stage of Japan"). Edit Biography
