The Kanginshu (1S18) and songs from the repertory of Women's Kabuki {whose text, the Odori collection, belongs to the Xan'ei period (1623-1643]), stand at either end of this period of one hundred and twenty years or so which ushered in important changes in the per­ forming arts of Japan as well as in other aspects of its culture. Though the majority were sung on private occasions, the Kanginshu also includes songs from the performing arts of the Middle Ages (no, dengaku, and kyogen) as well as from lesser-known performance types. The thirty-one sequences of song used as an acc�mpaniment to dance in the repertory of early kabuki indicate the direction in which performance was destined to develop in the following period. Dance where gesture and movement fill out or comment upon song became a mainstay of kabuki. On the other hand, dance set into a plot context, such as we often have in no, has a remote antecedent in storytelling to which movement is added at significant highpoints, a device which has the effect of transforming the experience of auditors into that of spectators. The essay on kagura includes a discussion V of the hypothesis that storytelling in this ritual context was to become a staged art when filled out with dance, cos­ tume, and masking. Song, dance, and storytelling. If we think of it in this way, then, in addition to presenting a discussion of one of Japan's most central religious rites and an illustra­ tion of song in transition from the Middle Ages into the Early Modern period, this volume elucidates through examples something unique to the basic nature of performance in Japan. I would like to express my appreciation for the assistance of Yamaji Kozo, who read over with me and ex­ plained much about song in the Odori collection. His knowl­ edge of the dances to which these songs were performed was indispensible since there is no published commentary for this collection. In my notes I recognize my indebtedness to Asano Kenji and other Japanese scholars for their work on the Kanginshu. I would also like to thank Stephen Bett of Simon Fraser University for having made valuable suggestions for improvements in the English translation. Note to 2nd printing.

The various gracious emperors have made careful use of song as an instrument of rule, and the tradition associated with song used in this way is quite old, as we see when we seek precedents in Ancient China. The reason the emperors of the earliest period sought the harmony of the five voices was to gain a tranquil mastery over the hearts of their subjects through music that their government might become an ideal one. In other words, through harmonizing the five voices, the six rhythms, the seven sounds, and the eight winds, these princes achieved the marvels of music. And through the harmonious cooperation of both the voiced and unvoiced, the long and the short sounds of words, and the short, long, slow, and swift measures of music they were able to realize the beauties of effective rule. The civilized man hears music, regulates his life with its quiet measures, and becomes a perfect paradigm of the virtues. Consequently, in the Book of Songs it says: "If one can gain a cultivation of the feelings through music, then one's reputation for righteousness and virtue will be long-lived." -3- -4- As for the individual himself, when because of an ex­ cess of feeling he can no longer express himself fully in the voice of nor11aal emotive expression, he has resort to song, prolonging the sounds of his voice. When even this expedient is insufficient, he moves his arms, unconsciously and without realizing that he is doing so, stamps his feet, and through the movement of the entire body gives total articulation to his feelings. The reason that music under an administration which is in effective control soothes and quiets the heart, as well as gives it pleasure, is that such an administration is in close harmony with the people's will. And the reason why the sounds of envy and of anger are to be heard in the music of chaotic times is that such government violates righteousness, while the hearts of its people run in an unrighteous pathway. That is why poetry is the most fitting way to amend the morals of both the individual and his government and to move to righteousness even the devils who, though invisible, inhabit the world. Poetry, the word itself declares, is a means of expressing pure feelings. In time poetry changes to become song which is widely sung. In the earliest period what was central was religious music used to worship the souls of the ancestors of the emperors and provincial music performed in villages. Song in the period of Yao was sung when wells were dug for drink and fields plowed for food. Song about the river Yi in the -5- Ch'in and song about the great wind in the Han are examples of song possible because of prayer to the gods before a· grand enterprise. Chieh-yil's song about the phoenix; Ning­ ch'i tapping in time upon the cow's horns; the king of Ch'u and the story of the fruit of the water plant; the king of Ch'en and his song about Hou t'ing hua--none of these but is now widely sung among the people. As it says in the I'ching: ''They sing while beating on the jug as on a drum.'' How can song, then, not be the pinnacle of the Way of Virtue.

  • Gender Performativity in Japan
    IJMSS Vol.04 Issue-09, (September, 2016) ISSN: 2321-1784 International Journal in Management and Social Science (Impact Factor- 5.276) Gender Performativity in Japan Lin Fan I-Shou University No. 1, Section 1, Xuecheng Rd., Dashu District Kaohsiung City, TAIWAN Abstract This paper explores gender issues Japanese daily life or traditional and contemporary shows. Specifically, it looks at gender politics in a number of performing arts, highlighting ways in which humor constructs the feminine. Like eroticism, humor builds on a fascination with the real ambiguity of gender; and reciprocally gender is sensually and humorously fashioned. Humorous performances arise from the aesthetic disturbance or subversion of historically specific gender prescriptions, just as the child develops role-playing strategies to understand what makes a male and a female body, game or activity before assimilating the gender divisions that prevail in her world. Gender is understood in this paper as a sort of unfinished picture that people have fun crafting. Keywords: humor; gender; performance; Japan.

Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Caleb Swift Carter 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Place, Tradition and the Gods: Mt. Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries by Caleb Swift Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor William M. Bodiford, Chair This dissertation considers two intersecting aspects of premodern Japanese religions: the development of mountain-based religious systems and the formation of numinous sites. The first aspect focuses in particular on the historical emergence of a mountain religious school in Japan known as Shugendō. While previous scholarship often categorizes Shugendō as a form of folk religion, this designation tends to situate the school in overly broad terms that neglect its historical and regional stages of formation. In contrast, this project examines Shugendō through the investigation of a single site. Through a close reading of textual, epigraphical, and visual sources from Mt. Togakushi (in present-day Nagano Ken), I trace the development of Shugendō and other religious trends from roughly the thirteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. This study further differs from previous research insofar as it analyzes Shugendō as a concrete system of practices, doctrines, members, institutions, and identities.

    In Silent Homage to Amaterasu: Kagura Secret Songs at Ise Jingū and the Imperial Palace Shrine in Modern and Pre-modern Japan Michiko Urita A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Patricia Shehan Campbell, Chair Jeffrey M. Perl Christina Sunardi Paul S. Atkins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ii ©Copyright 2017 Michiko Urita iii University of Washington Abstract In Silent Homage to Amaterasu: Kagura Secret Songs at Ise Jingū and the Imperial Palace Shrine in Modern and Pre-modern Japan Michiko Urita Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Patricia Shehan Campbell Music This dissertation explores the essence and resilience of the most sacred and secret ritual music of the Japanese imperial court—kagura taikyoku and kagura hikyoku—by examining ways in which these two songs have survived since their formation in the twelfth century. Kagura taikyoku and kagura hikyoku together are the jewel of Shinto ceremonial vocal music of gagaku, the imperial court music and dances. Kagura secret songs are the emperor’s foremost prayer offering to the imperial ancestral deity, Amaterasu, and other Shinto deities for the well-being of the people and Japan. I aim to provide an understanding of reasons for the continued and uninterrupted performance of kagura secret songs, despite two major crises within Japan’s history. While foreign origin style of gagaku was interrupted during the Warring States period (1467-1615), the performance and transmission of kagura secret songs were protected and sustained. In the face of the second crisis during the Meiji period (1868-1912), which was marked by a threat of foreign invasion and the re-organization of governance, most secret repertoire of gagaku lost their secrecy or were threatened by changes to their traditional system of transmissions, but kagura secret songs survived and were sustained without losing their iv secrecy, sacredness, and silent performance.

  • Religion and Culture
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 40/2: 355–375 © 2013 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture review article Constructing Histories, Thinking Ritual Gatherings, and Rereading “Native” Religion A Review of Recent Books Published in Japanese on Premodern Japanese Religion (Part Two) Brian O. Ruppert Histories of Premodern Japanese Religion We can start with Yoshida Kazuhiko’s 吉田一彦 Kodai Bukkyō o yominaosu 古代仏 教 をよみ なお す (Tokyo: Yoshikawa Kōbunkan, 2006), since it seems in many ways like a founder and precursor of the range of works written recently concerning early and, to some extent, medieval Japanese religion. Yoshida, who has long attempted to overcome common misconceptions concerning early Buddhism, succinctly tries to correct the public’s “common sense” (jōshiki 常識). Highlights include clarifications, including reference to primary and secondary sources that “Shōtoku Taishi” is a historical construction rather than a person, and even the story of the destruction of Buddhist images is based primarily on continental Buddhist sources; “popular Buddhism” does not begin in the Kamakura period, since even the new Kamakura Buddhisms as a group did not become promi- nent until the late fifteenth century; discourses on kami-Buddha relations in Japan were originally based on Chinese sources; for early Japanese Buddhists (including Saichō, Kūkai, and so on), Japan was a Buddhist country modeling Brian O.
