Storytelling - Degatari

Japanese: 出語り - でがたり

A Joruri term. In Ningyo Joruri or Kabuki, the narrator and shamisen perform on the stage (yuka) in front of the audience. In the old Joruri period, the narrator performed behind the puppeteer, but from around the Genroku period (1688-1704), it became popular for the puppeteer, narrator, and shamisen to perform on stage during scenes such as Michiyuki and Keigoto. At the time, they performed on the same stage as the puppeteers. In modern Ningyo Joruri, narrators often perform on stage not only during the kiriba (cut scenes) of each act, but also during the side scenes where the narrator should perform behind the blinds (upper right corner as you face the stage). In Kabuki, the area where the tokiwazu and kiyomoto perform is called yamadai, and the yuka is used only for the takemoto (→chobo) in Gidayu Kyogen.

浄瑠璃用語。人形浄瑠璃または歌舞伎で，太夫，三味線が床 (ゆか) で観客に姿を見せて語る形式。古浄瑠璃時代は語り手は幕の内 (人形遣いの後方) で語ったが，元禄 (1688～1704) 頃から，道行，景事などの段に，人形の出遣い，太夫，三味線の出語りが流行。当時は人形と同一舞台上で行なった。近代以後の人形浄瑠璃では，各段の切場はもとより，御簾内 (みすうち。舞台に向って右上方) で語るべき端場まで，出語りすることが多くなった。歌舞伎では，常磐津や清元が演奏するところを山台と呼び，義太夫狂言の竹本 (→ちょぼ ) に限って床という。
