Extraterrestrial

Japanese: 外記節 - げきぶし

The name of a school of Edo Joruri. Satsuma Gaki Fujiwara Naomasa, who descended from Satsuma Joun, moved from Kyoto to Edo during the Shoho and Keian eras (1644-51) and performed hard-line Joruri. This is called Gaki-bushi or Kudari Satsuma. It is said that he was given the name Gaki around the Jokyo era (84-88). This tune was passed down to Osatsuma Gaki Fujiwara Naokatsu, who later changed his name to Osatsuma Shuzendayu and founded Osatsuma-bushi, so Gaki-bushi was passed down to Osatsuma-bushi and was then absorbed into Nagauta. Therefore, traces of this name can still be seen in the tunes of Nagauta today. These are "Gakibushi Shakkyo," "Gaki Saru," "Kairai-shi," and "Okina Sanbaso," which are said to have been composed by the 10th head priest Kineya Rokuzaemon in an attempt to revive the Gakibushi. In addition, the Kato-bushi also has "Kairai-shi" and "Taihei Sumiyoshi-odori" as Joruri pieces entrusted to the Gakibushi.

Japanese:

江戸浄瑠璃の一流派名。薩摩浄雲の流れをくむ薩摩外記藤原直政が正保～慶安年間 (1644～51) の頃，京都から江戸に下って硬派の浄瑠璃を語った。これを外記節または下 (くだ) り薩摩という。外記と名のったのは，貞享年間 (84～88) の頃からともいう。この曲節は大薩摩外記藤原直勝に受継がれたが，のち大薩摩主膳太夫と改名し，大薩摩節を創設したため，外記節は大薩摩節に受継がれ，さらに長唄に吸収されてしまった。したがって現在では長唄の曲節に，その名残りをうかがい知ることができる。 10世杵屋六左衛門が外記節の復活を企てて作曲したといわれる『外記節石橋 (しゃっきょう) 』『外記猿』『傀儡師 (かいらいし) 』『翁三番叟』がそれである。また，河東節にも外記節の預り浄瑠璃として，『傀儡師』『泰平住吉踊』がある。
