Low class belt - Shizuhataobi

The title of a Nagauta and Icchu-bushi piece.

(1) Nagauta was composed in June 1828 (Bunsei 11) by the 10th Kineya Rokuzaemon (4th Saburosuke). The original title was "Yaegasumi Sekatobi." The story is a combination of the Noh plays "Sumida-gawa," "Hanjo," and "Sakura-gawa," and tells the story of a madwoman searching for her child and a boatman. It was first performed on a float at the Sanno Festival of Hie Shrine. At first, it was planned to use the Itchu-bushi "Senkatobi," but the atmosphere did not match, so it was rewritten as Nagauta. As a result, it is heavily influenced by Itchu-bushi.

(2) In the Itchu-bushi version, the original title is "Onoe no Kumo, Senki-obi." It was performed second after "Suketsune Ogikeizu" at the Morita-za in Edo in 1751 (the first year of the Horeki era). The words were by Horikoshi Nisoji, the music by Miyazaki Chugoro, and the choreography by Murakami Tsunegoro. The subject matter is the same as in Nagauta, but the lyrics are different. Both Nagauta and Itchu are accompanied by dance.

長唄(ながうた)および一中節(いっちゅうぶし)の曲名。

(1)長唄は1828年（文政11）6月、10世杵屋(きねや)六左衛門（4世三郎助）作曲。本名題(ほんなだい)『八重霞(やえがすみ)賤機帯』。内容は謡曲『隅田川(すみだがわ)』『班女(はんじょ)』『桜川』をあわせた筋で、わが子の行方を捜す狂女と船頭のやりとりである。初演は日枝(ひえ)神社山王(さんのう)祭に踊り屋台で演じられた。初め一中節の『賤機帯』を予定したが雰囲気があわないので、長唄で新たにつくったという。そのため一中節の影響も強い。

(2)一中節では本名題『尾上雲(おのえのくも)賤機帯』。1751年（宝暦1）江戸・森田座の『祐経扇系図(すけつねおうぎけいず)』二番目に上演。壕越二三治(ほりこしにそうじ)作詞、宮崎忠五郎作曲、村上常五郎振付け。題材は長唄と同じだが歌詞が異なる。長唄、一中とも舞踊を伴う。
