鷺の作り物を身に着けて舞う芸能。島根県鹿足(かのあし)郡津和野(つわの)町弥栄(やさか)神社の祇園(ぎおん)祭に行われる鷺舞は、7月20日と27日の両日、神輿(みこし)に供奉(ぐぶ)して神社・御旅所(おたびしょ)・頭屋(とうや)などへ練り込んで舞う。雌雄の鷺・棒振(ぼうふり)・羯鼓(かっこ)各2人の舞方と、笛・鼓・鉦(かね)・太鼓の囃子(はやし)方8人、それに歌い手大ぜいが出る。「橋の上に降りた鳥は何鳥 かわささぎのかわささぎのャァかわささぎの 鷺が橋を渡した鷺が橋を渡した 時雨(しぐれ)の雨にぬれ通り 通り」という歌にあわせて翼(つばさ)を開く所作を繰り返して舞う。同日、山口市八坂(やさか)神社の祇園祭でも若干異なった鷺舞が舞われる。この鷺舞はもと京都の祇園祭に出た練り物で、室町時代に長州の守護大内氏によって山口に伝わり、さらに1542年(天文11)に当時の津和野城主吉見(よしみ)氏によって山口から津和野へ移入された。津和野ではその後中絶していたのを1644年(正保1)に京都から直接伝えて復活した。京都八坂神社の鷺舞は津和野から伝えて近年復活したものである。 [渡辺伸夫] 国指定重要無形民俗文化財 島根県鹿足郡津和野町©公益社団法人島根県観光連盟"> 津和野弥栄神社の鷺舞 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 |
