Min’yo channel 1010: OISE MAIRI
-Japanese folk song (music genre: Ko Uta)
-Shamisen = honchoshi on D
-Kouta, which literally means “little” or “short” song, is one type of the many varieties of Japanese folk songs that is distinguished by its briefness and wittiness
-It developed near the end of the Edo period, and derived from an earlier form of folk music called “hauta”, which is from earlier in the Edo period
-During the rule of Japan by the Edo shogunate from the 17th to 19th centuries, pilgrimages to this shrine from all over the country — known as “O-ise-mairi” — were popular among almost most commoners
-Hundreds of people would travel to Ise Shrine for dozens of days —At that time, movements of people were strictly controlled and it was hard to make a pilgrimage, so the trip to Ise Shrine was a dream of a lifetime for many people
-The 1st lyrics is base on the true story
-During the Kyoho era (1716-1736), two lovers committed suicide at the Katsura River in Kyoto, and the incident became famous because of the difference in age between the middle-aged man, Choemon, and the teenaged girl, Ohan
-The story became the subject of a number of Kabuki and Joruri plays (the latter are puppet plays with narrative chanting accompanied by the shamisen)

てんてんの「おいせまいり」
ー端唄、または小唄
ー三味線弾き語り：本調子、六本調子
ー三味線と共に歌われる俗曲の一つで初心者がはじめに習う曲としてもよく知られている
ー端唄や俗曲には歌舞伎や浄瑠璃に材をとったものが多いが、この「お伊勢参り」もその一つ
てんてんメモ：
実際にはもっともっとたくさんの歌詞があります。題名は１番の浄瑠璃劇の歌詞からとったと思われます。江戸中期に実際に起きた心中事件をもとにしているそうですよ。さらりと唄っておりますが内容は暗くて切ない心中のお話です。
１番：浄瑠璃「桂川連理柵」通称「お半長右衛門」
２番：歌舞伎「青砥稿花紅彩画」通称「白浪五人男」
３番：歌舞伎「天衣粉上野初花」通称「三千歳直次郎」
詞：お伊勢まいり
お伊勢参りに
石部の茶屋で
「会ったとさ」
可愛い長衛門さんの岩田帯 締めたとさ
エッササノ エッササノ エッササノサ
振袖姿で
ゆすりに来たが「バレたとさ」
腕に桜の彫り物が 見えたとさ
弁天小僧菊の助
雪の明日の
入谷の寮で「会ったとさ」
可愛い直はんの膝にもたれて 泣いたとさ
風に鳴子の音高く
