Habit (song) - Habit

Japanese: クセ(曲) - くせ
Habit (song) - Habit
A term used in Noh. A type of utaiji. It is a narrative verse piece based on the 7-5 rhythm, incorporating the medieval popular art form kusemai. It is one of the longest utaiji pieces, and is located in the center of the piece. Because it is the highlight of the utai, many lines with more or less characters are used to add variety, and the composition also places emphasis on changes in rhythm. Many of them are stories told by the shite role, and may involve the actor's own experiences, such as love stories or military tales, or hearsay, such as the origins of temples and shrines or historical events.
