thumb was a kabuki play of the Kabuki Jūhachiban, first performed in 1699. It is no longer extant. ==Uwanari-uchi== was a marital custom dating back to the Heian period.

Custom therefore allowed the first wife to vent her anger on the second wife for stealing her husband's affections, usually in the form of attacking her house. Uwanari-uchi persisted until the early sixteenth century as a socially acceptable custom.
