Yasumura Kengyo

Japanese: 安村検校 - やすむらけんぎょう

[raw]?
[Died] 1779
A blind jiuta koto performer and composer. His Ichina (Ichinā) was Yoriichi. He is said to have been a student of Tanaka Kengyo on the shamisen and Kurahashi Kengyo (a student of Ikuta Kengyo) on the koto, or of Mitsuhashi Kengyo, who was a student of Ikuta Kengyo. He served as the general inspector of the shokuyashiki for three years from June 1768 (Meiwa 5). To supplement the "Kinkyokushō" that had been published by Yatsuhashi Kengyo, he compiled koto group songs and published the revised "Nadesō Gafushū" (50). As the last work in this collection was his own "Hien no Kyoku," it is said that he prohibited himself from composing group songs, but in fact he continued to compose many new pieces after that. In the "Yanoichizoban Kinuta no Fushohon" (A compilation of scores from Yanoichizoban Kinuta), he is listed as the composer of "Shichidan."

[没]安永8(1779)
盲人の地歌箏曲演奏家，作曲家。都名 (いちな) は頼一。三弦は田中検校の門下で，箏は倉橋検校 (生田検校門下) 門下あるいはその門下の三橋検校門下ともいわれる。明和5 (1768) 年6月から3年間職屋敷の惣検校をつとめた。八橋検校以来の『琴曲抄』を補うため，箏組歌を整理して『撫箏雅譜集』 (50) を校訂刊行，その最後に自作の『飛燕曲 (ひえんのきょく) 』があることから，以後の組歌作曲を禁じたともいわれているが，実際にその後も新作はかなり行われている。『弥之一蔵板砧の譜収載本』には『七段』の作曲者であるように記されている。
