Yasaka Style

Japanese: 八坂流 - やさかりゅう

The name of a school of Heikyoku. Heikyoku, founded by Shobutsu, was divided into two schools: the Ichikataryu school led by Bando Nyoichi and others, and the Yasakaryu school led by Yasaka Jogen and others. Those belonging to the Ichikataryu school were called Ichina, which included the character "ichi" (or "capital"), while those belonging to the Yasakaryu school included the character "jo" (castle), and were also called Johoryu. The Yasakaryu school maintained the old traditions and opposed the Ichikataryu school. In 1496, Morisawa Jomon became the first shokukengyo (inspector) of the Yasakaryu school, and those of his lineage came to be called the Myomon (Myobun) school. The currently surviving copy of the text is the volume "Tsukimi," copied by Oka Masatake in 1820.

平曲の流派名。生仏 (しょうぶつ) によって創始された平曲は，坂東如一らによる一方流 (いちかたりゅう) と八坂城玄らによる八坂流の2派に分れた。一方流に属するものが，その名に都名 (いちな) といって「一 (または都) 」の字を含むのに対して，八坂流に属するものは「城」の字を含み，城方流ともいった。八坂流は旧来の伝統を守って一方流に対抗した。明応5 (1496) 年森沢城聞は，八坂流で最初の職検校となり，その系統のものを妙聞 (妙文) 派というようになった。現在伝存する譜本には，文政3 (1820) 年岡正武筆写の『訪月 (つきみ) 』の巻がある。
