Kumokiri Nizaemon

This Ikenami's picaresque novel set in the Edo period published in 1974 and later adapted into films, TV dramas, and manga.

The title character KUMOKIRI Nizaemon is a fictional great bandit who imposes rules (no murder, no adultery, only steal from the rich) on him and his companions.
Nizaemon is thought to be a mixture portrait of existing robberies in Edo in the late 18th century. Traditional Kabuki and Kosyaku (a style of traditional oral Japanese storytelling) also tell stories of Nizaemon.

これは、池波正太郎が享保の江戸を舞台に描いたピカレスク小説である。1974年に出版されて以降、何度もドラマ化されており、漫画の原作にもなっている。最も新しい映像化は2013年のNHK BS時代劇シリーズのものである。
池波の小説において、仁左衛門は、殺し、手篭め、貧しい者からの盗みを禁じる掟を守る盗賊として設定されている。火付盗賊改方の安部式部との知恵比べが描かれる。

仁左衛門は、講釈や大岡政談で、「盗賊・雲霧五人男」(雲霧仁左衛門と手下の盗賊)の頭目として描かれ、江戸末期から明治期にかけては歌舞伎の題材ともなった。
