This dance is a Bugaku-style dance handed down in Konnoura, Ushimado Town, Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture. It is performed by 7-8 year old boys in Chinese costumes, accompanied by Chinese songs sung by young men, at the autumn festival of Yaku Shrine on the fourth Sunday of October (originally the 24th). It is said that it began when Empress Jingu stopped here on her way back from an expedition to the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and had them dance to soothe her travelling spirit. It is likely that Ushimado Port was a prosperous and open port since ancient times, and so it may have been handed down from Korea and turned into a children's dance. The Chinese songs are meaningless, such as "Sachaa waan-e haa-eyan-yawa...". The music is played on small drums and flutes. The dance lasts for about 10 minutes, but it is a beautiful, exotic dance with a relaxed tempo performed by two boys. Along with the Ayaura Sword Dance, it has been designated a National Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

岡山県瀬戸内市牛窓(うしまど)町紺浦(こんのうら)に伝わる舞楽風の踊り。10月第4日曜日(もと24日)の疫(やく)神社の秋祭に、青年たちの唐歌(からうた)にあわせて、唐装束(からしょうぞく)の7、8歳の童子たちにより踊られる。神功(じんぐう)皇后が三韓(さんかん)遠征からの帰りに、この地に立ち寄ったおりに舞をまわせて旅情を慰めたことに始まると伝えている。おそらく牛窓港が古くから栄えた開かれた良港であったため、韓国(からくに)から伝承し、稚児舞楽化したものかもしれない。唐歌は「サーチャーア ワーンエー ハアーエーヤンヤワ……」といった意味不明のもの。囃子(はやし)は小太鼓に笛。踊りは約10分間ほどのものであるが、童子2人によるゆったりしたテンポの異国風の美しい踊りである。綾浦(あやうら)の太刀(たち)踊とともに国の選択無形民俗文化財に指定される。 [萩原秀三郎] [参照項目] |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 |
