Flyer

Japanese: ちらし

A term used in Japanese performing arts and music. It can also be written as "chirashi" or "san." It refers to the concluding or additional part of a piece of music, and is said to have originated from the word "kimono wo sansu" (to scatter one's mood). In particular, in kabuki dance, jiuta, and sokyoku, it refers to a component part with certain characteristics. In folk performing arts, it also refers to the concluding form of a particular dance or an additional song. In kabuki dance and the shamisen music that accompanies it, it refers to the part just before the "dangire" (cut) part of the final piece, with a fast tempo and vigorous movements, and when accompanied by hayashi music, the large and small drums play typical lively hand movements.

Flyer

A small, single-page printed matter distributed for advertising and promotional purposes. Villa Also known as "bill," the term is usually used to refer to those used for commercial advertising. The word "bill" comes from the Latin "bulla," which means a strip of paper but also an official document. The world's first handwritten bills were seen in Roman bookstores. The first printed bills were published in 1477 by the English publisher Caxton, advertising a religious book called "Salsebury's Pie." In Japan, bills were known in the early modern period as "hikifuda" in Edo and "chirashi" in Osaka.

Japanese:

日本の芸能･音楽の用語。〈チラシ〉〈散〉とも書かれる。楽曲の構成上，終結部ないし付加的な部分についていわれるもので，〈気分を散らす〉という言葉から出たものともいわれる。とくに歌舞伎舞踊や地歌･箏曲では，それぞれ一定の特徴をもつ構成部分をいう。民俗芸能でも，特定の舞の終結的な型や付加的な歌についていう。歌舞伎舞踊およびその伴奏の三味線音楽では，終曲部の〈段切（だんぎれ）〉の直前の部分をいい，テンポが速く，動きも激しく，囃子がつく場合は，大小鼓が類型的なにぎやかな手を奏する。

ちらし

広告･宣伝を目的として配布される1枚ものの小型印刷物。別名ビラともいい，商業広告に用いるものをさすのがふつうである。ビラは，ラテン語のbulla(英語でbill)からきたもので，一片の紙のことだが公式文書を意味した。世界最初の手書きビラはローマ時代の本屋の店頭にみられる。また印刷ビラの最初は，1477年イギリスの出版業者カクストンの《サルズバリーのパイ》という宗教書の広告である。日本ではビラは近世に江戸で引札（ひきふだ），大坂ではちらしで通っていた。
