A small singing and dancing performing art performed by yayako (young girls) from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period. It is known as a performing art that was performed by Okuni of Izumo before she founded Kabuki dance. The earliest document that can be traced back to this day is a record dated September 9, 1581 in the Oyudonoue no Nikki. The specific content is unclear due to very limited sources, but it was undoubtedly a stage performance performed by young girls. There are apparently three types of performing arts that were called by this name: (1) A type of group dance that was performed in the streets before it became a stage performance. It was so named because it was danced by girls and children. (2) A general term for the performing arts performed by Okuni and others before the name "Kabuki dance" was given. (3) The name of a repertoire that existed in early Kabuki dance. It is an extremely important form of performing art when it comes to understanding the history of the establishment of Kabuki.

中世末期から近世初めにかけて行われたヤヤコ(幼女・少女)による小歌踊の芸能。出雲(いずも)の阿国(おくに)が歌舞伎(かぶき)踊を創始する前に演じていたことで知られる芸能である。『御湯殿上日記(おゆどののうえのにっき)』の天正(てんしょう)9年(1581)9月9日に記録されたものが、現在さかのぼりうるもっとも早い文献である。具体的な内容は資料がごく限られているためによくわからないが、少女たちによる舞台芸能であったのは間違いない。この名称でよばれた芸能には、次の3種のものがあったらしい。 (1)舞台芸能となる以前から巷間(こうかん)に行われていた群舞形式の盆踊りの一種。娘や子供が踊ったので、こうよんだ。 (2)「歌舞伎踊」の名称がつけられる以前、阿国らの演じていた芸能の総称。 (3)初期の歌舞伎踊のなかにあった一レパートリーの称。 歌舞伎成立の歴史を知るうえで、きわめて重要な芸能の一種である。 [服部幸雄] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
