A stand on which books are placed during reading, and is an abbreviation of shokendai. The part on which the book is placed is tilted forward to make it easier to read. An old shokendai from the Nara period remains in the Shosoin Repository, and fine ones with makie (lacquer lacquer) were also made in the Momoyama period. Meanwhile, in the world of Japanese music, mitai are used as music stands for narrators and singers, mainly in Noh (during practice), Joruri, Nagauta, and Biwa music. The shape varies depending on the genre and school, but since it is used while sitting upright, most are about 30 to 40 centimeters high, and help add a visual sense of formality to the musical performance. In general, Joruri-related mitai are elaborately decorated, and the mitai for Gidayu-bushi are particularly large and lacquered, decorated with gold makie and tassels. In Tokiwazu, a vermilion-painted stand called an "octopus leg" is sometimes used. [Kuniko Yui] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
書見(しょけん)の際に書物をのせる台で、書見台の略。書物をのせる部分が手前に傾いていて、見やすくしてある。古いものでは、正倉院に奈良時代の書見台が残っており、また桃山時代には蒔絵(まきえ)のりっぱなものもつくられた。一方、見台は、日本音楽の世界では、語り手、歌い手用の譜面台として、おもに謡曲(稽古(けいこ)のとき)、浄瑠璃(じょうるり)、長唄(ながうた)、琵琶(びわ)楽などで用いられている。形状は、種目、流派によりさまざまであるが、正座して使うので、高さは約30~40センチメートルのものが多く、音楽演奏の場に視覚的形式感を添えるのに役だっている。一般に浄瑠璃系の見台は装飾が凝っており、なかでも義太夫(ぎだゆう)節の見台は漆塗りで形も大きく、金蒔絵が施され、房飾りもついている。また常磐津(ときわず)節では、朱塗りの「たこ足」とよばれる見台が使われることもある。 [由比邦子] 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 |
