Training in martial arts and other arts during the cold season. In the Edo period, martial arts such as swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, and horsemanship, and recreational arts such as singing, joruri, and shamisen gathered at local dojos or masters' homes to hone their skills in that field. Even today, similar practices are seen in martial arts organizations. It is a practice that focuses on mental training. As it often overlaps with New Year's Day, there are also examples of tying it in with the sake barrel opening on the 11th, and serving sweet soup with sweet bean paste after practice.

寒の期間に武芸その他の諸芸を修練すること。江戸時代には、武芸では剣術・槍術(そうじゅつ)・弓術・馬術、遊芸では寒復習(かんざらい)ともいい、唄(うた)・浄瑠璃(じょうるり)・三味線など、それぞれ町道場や師匠の家に集まり、その道の技(わざ)を磨いた。いまも武道関係諸団体で同様のことがある。精神修養に主眼を置いた慣行である。正月と重なることが多いため、11日の鏡開きと結び付け、稽古が終わってから汁粉をふるまうなどの例もある。 [井之口章次] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
