Wakuri mibukyogen hozonkai
@This Kyogen is the silent mask Kyogen for the stone pagoda of Ichi on every 7 year. It is April when the Kyogen is held on every 7 year, and it was held on the 3 days of April 14th to 16th in Showa 59.
@There are 9 programmes, Kitaunetsuri, Koshiinori, Teradaikoku, Atagomairi, Gakikakuriki, Houraiwari, Zato's Kawawatari, Tororosuberi and Hananusutto. The programme changes everyday and Tendoku of Daihannyakyo at the middle day and Houtouengi is read every afternoon.
@30 wooden masks were made by local people in stead of paper mask in Showa
53. Players are only men in this area.
@It is said that the stone pagoda was moved to Ichiba and noh were held
in the Edo period, some noh comedian came from Kyoto. This Wakuri Kyogen
was transmitted from the Noh comedian of Hachimangumae, and called as Mibu
Kyogen. However, there are only 6 programmes in common as existing proper
Mibu Kyogen of 30 programmes. We don't see the same programmes of Kitsunetsuri,
Zato's Kawawatari and Koshiinori in existing proper Mibu Kyogen. however,
we can see the same programmes of Kitsunetsuri, Zato's Kawawatari in Mibu
Kyogen of Edo period. There is no same programme of Kyoto's 3 biggest Buddhism
Kyogen(Mibudera, Sagasyakado, Senbonenmado) as Koshiinori, thus the origin
of Koshiinori is supposed to be transmitted from other Kyogen.
@It is important that this silent Kyogen was born under the large chorus
of Yuzudainenbutu andiIt must be a great inheritance of entertainments.
