As a special performance commemorating the 620th anniversary of the opening of the Kanze Noh Theater and the 620th anniversary of the birth of Onami, the "first ceremony of old songs", which is rarely performed today, was performed on April 25. The first ceremony of the shogunate is the official event of the Shogunate, which was held every year at the Edo Castle Honmaru great hall under the Shogun, Misanke, and various daimyo line during the New Year of the Edo period. After reading this description a few years ago, I thought I would like to see it somehow. "At the beginning of the song on the 3rd of New Year's Day, various daimyo climbed the castle, offered Shimadai, and in return, the general himself gave a cup to the daimyo. In the meantime, Noh's Yoza and first-class Tayu songs are performed, and when it is over, Kanze Tayu worships the shoulder clothes that the Shogun has removed as a tradition since the Muromachi Shogunate, and then various daimyo imitated the Shogun and took off the shoulder clothes to the spot. After all, those shoulder robes were handed over to Kanze Tayu, but the daimyo sent messengers to Kanze Tayu's house the next day, rewarded and collected the shoulder robes. " ("Edo Hakuran Keiki")
Since the project was announced, I couldn't understand the details and I contacted several times, so I really enjoyed it today. When I took a picture at the entrance and completed the reception, I was impressed by the "first anniversary commemorative gift of the opening". The face of a theater critic who is full of driftwood and appears in the media in the front is also here. According to the explanation after the performance, it will be performed in the form of "When the first song was revived in 1880", so it is more compact than those of the Edo period.
It's started. At first, Kanze Daio, Hosho Daio, and Kongo Daio appeared in the formal dress of samurai crow hats and kimonos, and three local songs from each school continued, and the players appeared where they were seated. This time, Mr. Shichizaemon Mogi, President of the Japan Arts and Culture Promotion Association, will work. All of them are Hirabushi, and the player speaks to Kanze Daio and says, "I don't want." "Shikainami" started with no hair, and when it was over, the musicians appeared. It is "Oimatsu", "Tohoku" and "Takasago" by the three major husbands (playing without dance with shite and local songs and music). These three songs are said to be the first stage of the song. When the performance is over, it is "Jifuku worship". The lining is red with a white cotton case. At this time, the three major husbands dance the next "Yumiya Tateai" by layering the clothes on the kimono. This is said to be due to the history of Ieyasu Tokugawa, who fled to Hamamatsu Castle due to the great defeat of Mikataga Hara, rejoicing that the enemy Takeda army returned and letting Kanze Daio dance for a while. At the end of "Yumiya Tateai", the player gives a shoulder robe to Kanze Daio, and the player also takes off and throws his shoulder robe. It seems that it was customary to get money when I asked the daimyo family to return the shoulder robe at a later date. Later, according to the explanation of the Kanze sect, near the end of the Tokugawa period, each daimyo family was also told to "Please take it home" due to financial difficulties, and the Kanze family has three shoulders with the daimyo family crest. It seems that there is. After that, the Onami Symposium entitled "Samurai rituals and Noh" was held at Kokugakuin Professor Kenichi Futaki, Professor Shinpei Matsuoka of the University of Tokyo, and the Kanze sect. (Onami is the third generation of the Kanze style.) At that time, I heard that the kimono worn by the Kanze sect was worshiped by the second shogun, Hidetada. It is hard to see the stage where the third-class sect is together. It was a great day.
