<h3 epub:type="title">Introduction</h3>
|
||
<p>The scene of the Prologue is the shore near Aso; of the first Act the scene is the strand of Takasago, of the second Act the scene is the strand of Sumiyoshi. (On the stage there is no differentiation of scene.)</p>
|
||
<p>The chorus would, originally at least, consist of the actors. At a later period more or fewer of the musicians and songmen (<i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">utahigata</i>) took choral parts. It does not seem that there was any special chorus. It has, however, been supposed that the <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">waki</i> was accompanied by two <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">hafuri</i> (shrine-servants), who acted as chorus.</p>
|
||
<p>The performance began with the entry, from behind, of the <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">shite</i> and his <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">tsure</i> and the <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">waki</i>, who—in later times perhaps some of the musicians—would chant the opening quatrain. Upon the stage a Pine-tree was originally placed, afterwards represented by a picture on a curtain of the Tree under which the Spirits of the Trees of Takasago and Sumiyoshi were depicted, holding rakes in their hands and sweeping up the fallen needles.</p>
|
||
<p>The dancing or posturing would be part of the duty of the actors, not of the chorus, the functions of which only distantly resemble those of the chorus in the Greek Drama.</p>

|
||
<p>The following is a rendering of the greater part of <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Sakuragawa</i>. There are some omissions—of passages that defied any approach to adequate translation—but the fragments remaining will perhaps give an idea of the spirit of this play, which differs considerably in subject and in manner from the two preceding selections.</p>
|
||
<p><i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Sakuragawa</i> is, in fact, one of a group of pieces (<i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Kiōjo mono</i>) in which the chief personage is a madwoman. Such are <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Sumida-gawa</i>, possibly the best, where a mother, driven mad by grief at losing her child, wanders forth in search, to hear by chance that he is dead; <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Hanjo</i>, where a girl deranged by parting roams the countryside until she finds her lover; <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Minadzuki-barai</i>, where a wife, lost by her husband, is found by him raving before a shrine, praying that she may meet him; <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Hyakuman</i>, and several others of similar construction.</p>
|
||
<p>It will be gathered that the type shows little variety. There is no attempt to depict madness, except perhaps by a slight emphasis of the usual incoherence of the chanted words.</p>
|
||
<p>In <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.play" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Sakuragawa</i> the lyric passages are a potpourri of flower-conceits. The masses of blossom are compared to clouds, or to a billowing sea; and when the wind comes and scatters them, they are waves breaking from above, they are snow, and they are dreams. All the stock fancies are there, woven together by the Chorus and the Madwoman, and through the whole runs a continuous thread of allusion, now understood, now expressed, to the likeness of name between the River and the lost child, “Sakurago.”</p>

<p>There never was anybody heard of Mount Shinobu but had a kindly feeling for it; so I, like any other priest that might want to know a little bit about each one of the provinces, may as well be walking up here along the much travelled road.</p>
|

<p>I have not yet been about the east country, but now I have set my mind to go as far as the earth goes; and why shouldn’t I, after all? seeing that I go about with my heart set upon no particular place whatsoever, and with no other man’s flag in my hand, no more than a cloud has. It is a flag of the night I see coming down upon me. I wonder now, would the sea be that way, or the little place Kefu that they say is stuck down against it?</p>

<p>Tangled, we are entangled. Whose fault was it, dear? tangled up as the grass patterns are tangled up in this coarse cloth, or as the little Mushi that lives on and chirrups in dried seaweed. We do not know where are today our tears in the undergrowth of this eternal wilderness. We neither wake nor sleep, and passing our nights in a sorrow which is in the end a vision, what are these scenes of spring to us? This thinking in sleep of someone who has no thought of you, is it more than a dream? and yet surely it is the natural way of love. In our hearts there is much and in our bodies nothing, and we do nothing at all, and only the waters of the river of tears flow quickly.</p>

<h3 epub:type="title">Introduction</h3>
|
||
<p>In the eleventh century two powerful clans, the Taira and the Minamoto, contended for mastery. In <time>1181</time> Kiyomori the chief of the Tairas died, and from that time their fortunes declined. In <time>1183</time> they were forced to flee from Kyōto, carrying with them the infant Emperor. After many hardships and wanderings they camped on the shores of Suma, where they were protected by their fleet.</p>
|
||
<p>Early in <time>1184</time> the Minamotos attacked and utterly routed them at the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani, near the woods of Ikuta. At this battle fell Atsumori, the nephew of Kiyomori, and his brother Tsunemasa.</p>
|
||
<p>When Kumagai, who had slain Atsumori, bent over him to examine the body, he found lying beside him a bamboo-flute wrapped in brocade. He took the flute and gave it to his son.</p>
|
||
<p>The bay of Suma is associated in the mind of a Japanese reader not only with this battle but also with the stories of Prince Genji and Prince Yukihira.</p>
|
||
<p>A recitation concerning Atsumori’s death takes place in the Interlude between the two Acts. These interludes are subject to variation and are not considered part of the literary text of the play.</p>

<p>In Murakami’s <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.book" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Harima Meisho-zuwe</i> (<i epub:type="se:name.publication.book">Illustrated Description of the Province of Harima</i>, <time>1863</time>), <abbr>vol.</abbr> <span epub:type="z3998:roman">III</span>, Onöe (<i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">wo no uhe</i>) is described as a pine-grove in Osada, where the shrines of two deities <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Sumiyoshi Myojin</i> (Illustrious God), and <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Ohara Dai myojin</i> (Great Illustrious God) exist. Finally there were three gods of Sumiyoshi, of the upper (or nearer?) middle (remote?) and bottom (furthest?) waters. When Jingu, the Queen-Regnant (<abbr epub:type="se:era z3998:initialism">AD</abbr> <time datetime="0201">201</time>–<time datetime="0269">69</time>), had completed her conquest of Korea, she built here the Sumiyoshi shrine and called the place Takasago (High Dune). Changes in the coastline occurred, and Takasago (which was a little port) disappeared, while Old Takasago became Onöe. [Possibly the twain trees originally grew near these shrines, and of their proximity the memory was preserved in the story, when Sumiyoshi in Tsu came into existence.]</p>

<p>There are two sayings about the pine-tree which are worth giving. One is <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Matsu to ifu ji wo sakashima yomeba tsuma to naru no de ureshikaro</i>; if you read the syllabic characters of <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="z3998:phoneme" xml:lang="ja-Latn">ma</i> <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="z3998:phoneme" xml:lang="ja-Latn">tsu</i> (<i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">matsu</i>, pine) backwards you have <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="z3998:phoneme" xml:lang="ja-Latn">tsu</i> <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="z3998:phoneme" xml:lang="ja-Latn">ma</i> (<i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">tsuma</i>) “spouse,” which is, more japonico, a pleasant conceit. The other turns upon an analysis of the character <span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">松</span> (pine-tree); <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">matsu to ifu ji wo wakachite yomeba kimi to boku to no futari-zure</i>, if you dissect the character for pine-tree you have <span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">木</span> <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">boku</i>, “tree,” and <span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">公</span> <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">kimi</i>, “you.” <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Boku</i> is also the pronunciation of <span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">僕</span> “I myself,” so that the saying means that the analysis of the character gives the pair of ego and tu. The one saying involves the notion of spousal love, the other that of friendship.</p>

<p>The priest has asked the villager why the woman speaks so sensibly, and suggested that he should say something that will set her off raving, so that he may be amused! The villager thereupon tells her that the blossoms are being scattered by the breeze.</p>
|
||
<p>A similar situation in the <i lang="ja-Latn" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Kiōjomono</i> is not infrequent. A mad woman is produced as an entertainment for visitors, and her ravings, serve for their diversion.</p>
|
||
<p>In <i lang="ja-Latn" epub:type="se:name.publication.book" xml:lang="ja-Latn">Minazukibarai</i>, for instance, a villager says to one who enquires what sights his district offers, “There is a young madwoman here … the way she dances about is most amusing … I’ll show her to you.”</p>

<p>In Hanjo, a servant, on his master’s behalf, addresses Hanako, “Why dost thou not rave to day, Mad Woman?
