Nogawa Kengyo - Nogawa Kengyo

Japanese: 野川検校 - のがわけんぎょう

[raw]?
[Died] February 7, 1717
The founder of the Nogawa school of shamisen kumiuta (→ shamisen honte), which has been handed down mainly in Osaka. His capital name was Rakuichi. He was a disciple of Asatsuma Koto (later Kengyo), a disciple of Yanagawa Kengyo in Kyoto, whose name is listed as the composer of the "Tosei Hikidashi no Shinkyoku" in "Oonusa" (→ "Itochiku Daizen"). He was appointed Kengyo in 1696. He was also active as a Heikekyoku performer, but he reorganized shamisen kumiuta and established a system of transmission. While the Yanagawa school only has six kumiuta today, the Nogawa school has 32. His works include "Kazoe Uta" which is listed in the section on the catalogue of choka in "Matsu no Ha" (1703), and "Shunkusa", "Maiogi" and "Wakamatsu" can be found scattered throughout the literature, and the current piece is the choka "Ne no Hi".
