Branch tone - Edajoushi

Japanese: 枝調子 - えだぢょうし
Branch tone - Edajoushi
A term used in gagaku scale theory. In Tang Dynasty music, a tuning was incorporated into one of the six tunings because the tones that make up the melody are slightly different but the tonic tone is the same. The Ryumeisho lists seven tunings: Seicho, Docho, Suicho, Kotsujikicho, Sadacho, Churyocho, and Koishicho. Currently, traces of this tuning can only be found in the tuning of Sadacho, a branch tuning of Ichikotsucho, and the tuning of Suicho, a branch tuning of Oushikicho, for the koto and biwa.
