Akita Sugagaki (Kinko Ryu)

秋田菅垣

[ジャンル]本曲
[流派]Kinko Ryû - 琴古流

発祥 (John Singer):

Among the Shakuhachi Honkyoku pieces there are the "Sugagaki pieces" and this is one of the so called "Sugagaki Mono".

The term Sugagaki, when used in Shakuhachi music, simply means pieces which are unrelated to the Fuke legend. The term Sugagaki also refers to a technique used in solo Koto music without voice. Akita is the name of a prefecture in Japan.

Akita Sugagaki is thought to have been transmitted to Kinko Kurosawa by Biao in Akita Prefecture. However, it may have been a transmitted piece of Koku Zan Dai-Ji Temple.

Autumn Field

The title of this piece literally means "Sugagaki from Akita". Akita, which means 'autumn field', is a district in northern Honshu, the main island of Japan. The term, 'sugagaki' cannot be translated though the pronunciation of the Chinese characters are known, the meanings are no longer understood in the shakuhachi context. The word 'sugagaki' appears in the koto tradition, but there is no apparent connection between this context and the shakuhachi pieces with 'sugagaki' in their title. One Japanese scholar has suggested that it refers to the now largely obsolete method of stacking bunches of rice stalks on wooden racks in the autumn fields, to dry before threshing.

During his wanderings through Japan, Kurosawa Kinko learnt this piece from the monk Baio in the town of Akita in the extreme north of the country. There are obvious folk music influences in this piece, which may originate in the Akita area.

"Before moving back to Seattle, Washington in 1991, for my final concert appearance in Shimonoseki, Japan, my father selected Akita Sugagaki, which we played as a duet. This is the solo version of that piece."

Akita is a region near the northern end of the main island of Japan: in ancient times it was largely unsettled wilderness. Since there is no certainty that any of the melodic ideas come from this province, it seems likely that the location was used in the title simply to suggest the remote and the inaccessible. Sugagaki is a term that occurs
in a number of titles of 17th-century Japanese and Okinawan koto pieces in variation form: unlike most solo shakuhachi works. Akita Sugagaki is a loosely constructed series of variations. It is played here on the standard-sized instrument.

Akita is the name of a district in the northern part of the Japanese main island, Honshu. Akita Sugagaki is similar to Sanya Sugagaki in its possession of a special distinct rhythmical sense, and its ability to be played as a duet. It, also, may be related to the ancient koto composition called Sugagaki.

The piece probably was not actually from Akita, but, rather, its title is meant to convey the image of a cold, remote place.
Play ButtonWind in the Reeds 尺八 : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin
This version of "Sugagaki" or, "The Wind in the Reeds." comes from Akita, a far northern province in Japan. Although it may also be played as a duet, it is performed here as a solo.

Akita is the name of a district in the northern part of the Japanese main island and sugagaki denotes some instrumental pieces for strings. It seems that this piece originated in Akita district as an arrangement for a shakuhachi from a certain piece for a string-instrument and later spread to other districts. This is not a ritual music, either.
