Private live performance by a teacher who is no stranger to the world of Icchu-bushi.
Icchu-bushi is a type of joruri (traditional Japanese puppet play) and an important intangible cultural asset of Japan.
It was founded in Kyoto around Genroku (1688~1704) and Hoei (1704~1711) by To-tayu Icchu I (1650~1724). The first Miyako Icchu was born as the second son of Shuui, the third abbot of Myofukuji Temple in the Honganji School of Jodo Shinshu in Kyoto. It is characterized by the fact that it incorporates the merits of the preceding joruri and, contrary to the gidayu-bushi that was emerging at the time, aims for a warm, elegant, and lyrical expression. The shamisen is played on a chuzao, and the overall effect is elegant, graceful, and dignified. Originally, it was performed in Kamigata (Kyoto) and was widely loved as joruri (narrative drama) in the tatami room, but it later moved to Edo (Tokyo) and was used as accompaniment music for Kabuki. Later, it moved to Edo (now Tokyo), where it was used as accompaniment music for Kabuki. Today, it is passed down mainly in Tokyo. According to the story of the previous Iemoto, the first Icchu called himself "the center of the capital" and was unconventional in some ways.
This is a live performance with a mini lecture that even beginners can enjoy.
The clear voice and shamisen tone of Mr. Miyako Ryochu draws you into a deeper place without you knowing it. Japanese music? Please forget your preconceived notions of how difficult it might be and simply listen to the music, concentrating your mind on a global scale. The stage is so close that you can reach out and relax your body and brain.
