万ばん丈じょう

noun

hurrah!; long life; congratulations; full vent

Archaic or highly literary celebratory exclamation, often used in old texts or set phrases like 万歳. The gloss 'full vent' suggests an extended meaning of giving full expression to something, but this is rare.

• 古ふるい芝しば居いで「万ばん丈じょう、万ばん丈じょう」と叫さけぶ場ば面めんがある。

  In old plays, there are scenes where they shout 'banjō, banjō!'

• 「万ばん丈じょうの気き炎えん」という表ひょう現げんは、意い気き込ごみが非ひ常じょうに盛さかんなことを表あらわす。

  The expression 'banjō no kien' means one's spirits are at their highest.
