The Woman-Killer and the Hell of Oil (女殺油地獄, Onnagoroshi abura no jigoku) is a Bunraku play by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, also performed in kabuki. The play was first performed August 9, 1721 on the bunraku stage. It is supposedly based on actual events that were said to have taken place the night before Boy's Festival in 1721; however, little is known about the crime. The play was not well-received when it was first performed, and it was only during the end of the nineteenth century that the play began to be considered a masterpiece and started to be performed frequently. While originally written for bunraku it was successfully staged in kabuki in a revival in 1909 by Jitsukawa Enjaku II. It is the only sewamono (contemporary setting plays in Japanese traditional theatre) to feature a murderer
