About this concert
The Tale of the Heike, listened to in one’s sleep (while lying down), is a concert where you can listen to Heikyoku, a recitation of The Tale of the Heike accompanied by Heike biwa. Why not escape from your everyday life and enter the world of The Tale of the Heike? You may feel sleepy from the difficult words and the sound of the Heike biwa, but it’s okay to fall asleep. The sound of the Heike biwa and the narrator’s voice are the stage setting. Please create the scenery of the story in your mind.
“Off the Coast of Nachi”
This performance tells the stories ‘Yokobue’ and ‘Koremorijusui’ from the Heike Monogatari (Tale of the Heike). Each story depicts the liberation from the suffering of this world and spiritual sublimation. Tokiyori and Yokobue achieve spiritual growth and liberation through the form of becoming a priest, while Koremori ends his own life, cutting off his lingering feelings for his family and companions and choosing the path to enlightenment.
Tale of the Heike, Volume 10 “Yokobue”
TairanoKoremori, with thoughts of his family back in the capital, heads from Yashima to Koyasan, struggling with his emotions. There he meets Takiguchi Nyudo (Saito Takiguchi Tokiyori), a man who once loved a woman called Yokobue, but who, despite his family’s objections, went on to become a Buddhist priest. This is the story of Yokobue, who inspired Takiguchi Nyudo to turn to Buddhism after seeing the end of the life of Taira no Koremori.
Tale of the Heike, Volume 10 “Koremori Jyusui”
After visiting the three Kumanosankei shrines, TairanoKoremori and his party head for the sea. Seeing Koremori’s distress at the thought of his family before he enters the water, Takiguchi Indo wipes away his tears and, feigning composure, tries to persuade Koremori. The story depicts Koremori’s final moments as he cuts off his lingering attachments and chooses the path of enlightenment.
