Tamba Sarugaku

Japanese: 丹波猿楽 - たんばさるがく

In the Middle Ages, Sarugaku was based in Tamba. The most important Tamba Sarugaku troupes were Yada Sarugaku, based in what is now Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture, Umewaka Sarugaku in Oshima, Ayabe City, and Hiyoshi Sarugaku, whose base is unknown. Yada Sarugaku is an old troupe that has been called the honza since the Kamakura period, and it made regular appearances at events such as the Shussui-e at Hossho-ji Temple in Kyoto, the Mishiro Festival at Kamo Shrine, and the rice planting ritual at Sumiyoshi Shrine, along with the Enami-za (Niiza) and Hojoji-za troupes in Settsu. It also held the position of gakuto (head of the group) at Gokomiya Shrine in Fushimi from a fairly early period until 1437 (Eikyo 9), providing Sarugaku services at the spring and autumn rituals.

中世，丹波に本拠を置いた猿楽。現在の京都府亀岡市に本拠地のあった矢田猿楽，綾部市大島の梅若猿楽，それに本拠地不明の日吉（ひえ）猿楽などが丹波猿楽の有力な座であった。矢田猿楽は鎌倉時代から本座と呼ばれていた古い座で，京都法勝寺の修正会や賀茂社の御土代祭（みとしろまつり），住吉社の御田植神事などに摂津の榎並（えなみ）座(新座)や法成寺座とともに参勤しており，伏見の御香宮でもかなり早い時代から1437年(永享9)まで楽頭職を保持して春秋の神事に猿楽を奉仕していた。
