(The Crane and the Tortoise) Di and Shamisen The Nagauta piece Tsurukame (1851) celebrates imperial longevity (the crane and tortoise are symbols of long life) and like many other Nagauta pieces (e.g., Kokaji, Musume Dojoji), it is derived from a play from the Noh theater, the aristocratic drama form which originated and developed during the Muromachi period (13381573). In its entirety, Tsurukame is comprised of eight movements which can be grouped into three major sections corresponding to the jo-ha-kyu (introduction-exposition-denouement) structure found throughout the performing arts of Japan. The Di (playing the vocal line) is accompanied by the Shamisen (in honchoshi tuning) and performed here is the opening movement, a movement from the exposition section (an instrumental duet), and the concluding movement. | ||
