Okamoto Bunya - Okamoto Bunya

Japanese: 岡本文弥 - おかもとぶんや
Okamoto Bunya - Okamoto Bunya

Years of birth and death unknown. A Joruri tayu (joruri narrator) from around the Enpo to Genroku periods (1673-1704). In the book "Naniwa Suzume" published in 1679 (Enpo 7), it is written that he was active at the Ito Dewa no Jōza in Osaka, and that his Fumiya-bushi (a type of Japanese folk song) was highly praised and once very popular. In the "Meijin Kishinroku" it is written that he died in 1694 (Genroku 7), but his career and other details are unclear. There is a theory that he was the founder of the Fumiya-bushi. Fumiya-bushi fell into decline in the late Genroku period due to the influence of Gidayū-bushi, and today only the tune "Fumiya" remains in Gidayū and Icchu Bungo-style Jōruri. The style of the piece is said to be a sad and soft-spoken style, and was also called "Nakibushi". Incidentally, the fourth head of the Shinnai-bushi school, Okamoto Fumiya (1895-1996), is not related to Fumiyabushi. The name Fumiyabushi remains in the local performing arts of Sado today.

Japanese:

生没年不詳。延宝(えんぽう)~元禄(げんろく)(1673~1704)ごろの浄瑠璃太夫(じょうるりたゆう)。1679年(延宝7)刊の『難波雀(なにわすずめ)』の書中には、大坂の伊藤出羽掾座(でわのじょうざ)で活躍し、文弥節がもてはやされ一時は大いに流行したありさまが書かれている。『名人忌辰録(めいじんきしんろく)』に元禄7年(1694)没したと記されているが、芸歴とともに明らかでない。伊藤出羽掾を初世とする説がある。文弥節は元禄後期には義太夫(ぎだゆう)節に押されて衰絶し、いまでは義太夫、一中豊後(いっちゅうぶんご)系浄瑠璃などに、「文弥」という曲節を残すのみとなっている。曲風は哀婉(あいえん)な軟派風とみえて、泣き節とも称せられた。なお、新内節(しんないぶし)の4世家元岡本文弥(1895―1996)は、文弥節とは関係がない。また現在、佐渡の郷土芸能に文弥節の名が残っている。
