[about this concert]
The Tale of the Heike Listened to by Heike Biwa at Garden & Space Kuru Kuru. At this venue, we hold small concerts where you can listen to the Tale of the Heike, which mainly describes the wild scenes of armies and battles, with a modern translation. The garden is a seasonal intersection of endings and beginnings. The Enoden train passes right next to the room. Various dynamic of life you can feel in this building. Overlaid on this is the dynamism of the lives of those who fought in a battle 800 years ago. The intersection of the present and the past, the end and the beginning. We hope you can feel that moment at this place. One-person participation is welcome.
【Synopsis】
The Tale of the Heike, Vol. 9 “Atsumori Saigo”
Kumagai Jiro Naozane, a warrior of the Genji clan, was defeated at the Battle of Ichinotani and followed the fleeing Heike nobles to the coast. There he encounters a young warrior wearing luxurious armor. Kumagai succeeds in capturing him, but realizes that the young warrior is about the same age as his own son. Kumagai feels compassion for him and wants to save his life, but the young warrior refuses. Kumagai grips his sword in a conflicted grip, knowing better than to fall into the hands of his allies, who are closing in behind him.
