History (Tomiyama Seikin II):
| The Konkyôji temple This piece has been chosen to demonstrate the existence of humorous pieces within the largely lyrical or sentimental repertoire of jiuta. It belongs to the subgenera sakumono, which is made up of pieces composed by the professional musicians of the genre probably for their own amusement, and in the performance of which improvisation is likely to have had a major role. The composer of this piece is not known; it seems likely that the piece assumed its present form in a gradual process of development from the 18th century. The story is a humorous description of the fervent prayers of a priest, Monkyo, of a temple named Konkyôji. |
