Musician - Ongyokushi

Japanese: 音曲師 - おんぎょくし
Musician - Ongyokushi

An entertainer who performs Japanese music, especially singing using the shamisen, at a vaudeville theater. During the Bunsei era (1818-30), hauta, yoshiko no bushi, and itako bushi were popular, but during the Tenpo era (1830-44), Dodoitsubo Senka made dodoitsu a successful vaudeville entertainment. In the order of performances at Tokyo vaudeville theaters, musicians generally appear as hizagawari (entertainers who perform right before the main performers). Even in modern times, Tokyo has maintained its tradition of musicians more than Kamigata, and there are more of them. In recent years, well-known musicians include Yanagiya Kohanji, Tachibanaya Yonekura, Yanagiya Mikimatsu, and Shunputei Shijaku.

Japanese:

寄席(よせ)において日本の音楽、とくに三味線を用いて唄(うた)の芸を披露する芸人。文政(ぶんせい)(1818~30)のころには、端唄(はうた)、よしこの節、潮来(いたこ)節がよく歌われたが、天保(てんぽう)(1830~44)のころ都々一坊扇歌(どどいつぼうせんか)が都々逸(どどいつ)を寄席演芸として成功させた。音曲師は、東京の寄席の出演順番では、おおむね膝替(ひざがわ)り(真打ちのすぐ前に出る芸人)として登場する。音曲師は、近代に入っても上方(かみがた)より東京のほうが伝統を守り、その数も多い。近年では柳家小半治、橘家(たちばなや)米蔵、柳家三亀松(みきまつ)、春風亭枝雀(しじゃく)などがよく知られた。
