Sotoba-ryu - Sotobanagashi

Japanese: 卒都婆流 - そとばながし

(1) The name of a Heikyoku song. Hiramono (flat material). Fushimono (fushimono). Taira Yasuyori Nyudo and Tanba Shosho Naritsune, who were exiled to Kikaigashima Island, invited the Kumano Sanzan, which they deeply believed in, to the island and made repeated visits to the island. One day, they held a wake before the shrine and sang imayo (traditional Japanese folk songs). In the early morning, while napping, they had a dream in which twenty or thirty women wearing scarlet hakama came up to the beach in a sailboat. The women sang the imayo song, "The promise of a thousand hands is more reliable than the prayers of all Buddhas..." and then disappeared (middle note).

(1)平曲の曲名。平物（ひらもの）。フシ物。鬼界ヶ島に流刑になった平康頼入道と丹波少将成経は，深く信仰していた熊野三山を島の中に勧請（かんじよう）して，参拝を重ねていた。ある日，神前で通夜をして今様を歌ったが，その暁の仮睡の中で，緋の袴をはいて帆舟に乗った女たちが二，三十人浜に上がった夢を見た。女たちは〈よろづの仏の願（がん）よりも　千手の誓ひぞ頼もしき……〉という今様を歌って消え去った(〈中音（ちゆうおん）〉)。
