発祥 (神 如道):

Itcho-ken: SASHI

1. About the title:

The sa of Sashi was originally a Sanskrit letter which was the special symbol of Kanzeon (or Kannon) Bosatsu, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. This sa (or satsu) eventually was written in various combinations of Chinese characters pronounced sashi. Therefore this piece is associated with religious austerities connected to Kannon Bosatsu: at the dawn of enlightenment it will be used for the redemption of all living beings according to the divine and universal revelations of Kannon Bosatsu. Jin Nyodo received and passed on this piece from Saito Inokuma and several others.

Like Reibo, Sashi is a term associated with koten honkyoku. In fact, there appears to be many different songs that all share the title Sashi. It is possible that different versions of Sashi all share the same source, but this is uncertain. The Sashi performed here is of an unrefined style; basic and pure. As such, this version is particularly touching because of its rustic quality.
