Complete Guide to Thread Bamboo

Japanese: 糸竹大全 - しちくたいぜん
Complete Guide to Thread Bamboo

A document on Japanese music. It is a compilation of three books, originally independent: "Oonusa" (a collection of shamisen scores), "Ikanobori" (a collection of hitoyogiri shakuhachi scores), and "Chin no Nakadachi" (a collection of lyrics for koto kumiuta). As this book contains descriptions of the three instruments, it is thought to be a copy of the earlier book "Shichikushoshinshu" (1664). The first editions of all three books were published during the Jokyo era (1684-88), but there are many unknowns about when they were collected together as "Shichiku Daizen." The version that is widely circulated today is the one published in 1699 (Genroku 12) by Nagata Chobei of Kyoto, but many copies of the three books are missing "Chin no Nakadachi." The authors of "Oonusa" and "Kamitobi" are unknown. "Chion no dai" is thought to have been compiled by Shofuken. "Oonusa" (4 volumes in total) and "Kamitobi" (3 volumes in total) contain explanations of the history and playing techniques of each instrument, as well as musical scores, and can be considered similar to "Itotake Shoshinshu." However, "Chion no dai" is a collection of lyrics and commentaries for koto group songs, but does not contain musical scores, and is different in nature from the other two books.

Japanese:

日本音楽の文献の一つ。本来はそれぞれ独立した3種の書『大ぬさ』(三味線の楽譜集)、『紙鳶(いかのぼり)』(一節切(ひとよぎり)尺八の楽譜集)、『知音之媒(ちいんのなかだち)』(箏(こと)組歌の歌詞集)をあわせて刊行したもの。本書は3種の楽器についての記述がひとまとめにされていることから、先行書である『糸竹初心集(しちくしょしんしゅう)』(1664)を模したものと考えられる。前記3書とも貞享(じょうきょう)年間(1684~88)には初版が刊行されていたものであるが、これらを『糸竹大全』として合収した年代については不明な点が多い。現在多く流布するのは1699年(元禄12)に京都の永田調兵衛が刊行したものであるが、3書のうち『知音之媒』を欠くものも少なくない。『大ぬさ』および『紙鳶』の著者は不明。『知音之媒』は松風軒の編と思われる。『大ぬさ』(全4巻)と『紙鳶』(全3巻)には、それぞれの楽器の歴史や奏法の解説と楽譜が記載されており、『糸竹初心集』の類書といえるが、『知音之媒』は箏組歌の歌詞および注釈集で楽譜はなく、他の2書とは性格が異なる。
