Fujimatsu Satsuma no Jō

Japanese: 富士松薩摩掾 - ふじまつさつまのじょう

A performer of the Fujimatsu school of Shinnai-bushi. (1) The First Generation (1686-1757, Jokyo 3-Horeki 7). His real name was Nonaka Hikojiro. He was one of the founders of Shinnai-bushi. He was originally a disciple of Miyakoji Bungo-no-jo and called himself Miyakoji Kaga-dayu. In the winter of 1745 (Enkyo 2), he became independent under the name Fujimatsu Satsuma, and received the title of Jō the following year, founding the Fujimatsu family. He performed at theaters in Edo, but his storytelling style was inherited from Bungo-no-jo, and the content of his performances did not seem to be very distinctive. The shamisen player was Takezawa Heihachi. The son of the first generation was called Satsuma, but his acting career is unknown, and the name was subsequently discontinued.

新内節富士松派の演奏家。(1)初世(1686‐1757∥貞享3‐宝暦7)　本名野中彦次郎。新内節始祖の一人。初め宮古路豊後掾の弟子で宮古路加賀太夫を称した。1745年(延享2)冬に富士松薩摩と改めて独立，翌年掾号を受領し，富士松家を創始した。江戸の劇場に出演したが，豊後掾譲りの語り口で，内容的にはあまり特色はなかったようである。三味線方は竹沢平八。初世の子が薩摩と名のったが芸歴などは未詳で，以後この名跡は中絶していた。
