*''Japanese'': 俄 or 仁和嘉 ''(niwaka)''
''Niwaka'' were amateur farcical plays popular from the early 18th century onwards; closely based on professional [[kabuki]] plays of the time, ''niwaka'' performed by [[courtesans]] of the [[Yoshiwara]] were particularly popular, and sometimes depicted in ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' prints.
In [[Edo]], ''niwaka'' performances by courtesans came to be a regular annual event in the Yoshiwara; similar performances, called ''Gion nerimono'', also took place annually in [[Kyoto]], in conjunction with [[Gion Matsuri]]. ''Niwaka'' prints produced in Kyoto included not only those made in the standard [[printing and publishing|woodblock]] manner, but also ''[[kappazuri]]'' (stencil) prints.
