Azuma Jishi

吾妻獅子

[Жанр]Дзюита
[Стиль]Tegotomono
[Школа]Ikuta Ryû - 生田
[Сочиненная]Minezaki Kōtō - Сямисен

История (Tsuge Gen'ichi):

Minezaki of Osaka, a great composer of jiuta (a vocal style accompanied by the shamisen), perfected the tegoto-mono form towards the end of the eighteenth century. In this form, songs are connected with one another by virtuoso instrumental interludes (tegoto). Azuma-jishi is one of Minezaki's tegoto-mono masterpieces. The main tegoto of the present piece consists of five sections (dan), and depicts primarily the lion (shishi) dancing in a wild delirium of joy. Hence the title Azuma-jishi, 'Lion of the East.'

Поэма (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)

From olden days
Men have spoken of him-
The lady-killer
Who goes east from the capital-
On his way, the very pine trees
Pine for him-

On Mt. Fuji's peak,
Snow white
Flowers-like his outfit
And speech, redolent of the Yoshiwara (1).
Tamed by the peony flowers
On your robes,
This lion takes flowers
From his wealth
Even his fiery temper
Is beloved.

Love and be loved
A thousand ages...
Wearing separate clothes
After the exchange of loves,
In threads of music my heart
Is as tangled as my hair.

Singing on love's road,
The bedewed spring, too-
It's over!
Music mirrored
In the dancer's fan.
Gorgeously,
Wildly, passionately,
This lion also plays
In the Way of Wedlock-
May this world
Be unshakeable
For generations.

(1) Yoshiwara was the entertainment, pleasure quarter and cultural center of Edo (Old Tokyo).

This is an excerpt from a late- 18th-century composition that lasts 25 minutes in its entirety Composed originally for voice and koto, it is heard here in a version that also includes shamisen and shakuhachi; the three instruments represent one of the most popular instrumental combinations in Japanese music. This work also makes use of a somewhat modified form of the first variation of Rokudan - heard at the first entrance of the shakuhachi, which plays from the shakuhachi transcription of Rokudan, rather than the original koto version.
