About this concert: The Tale of the Heike, listened to in one’s sleep, is a concert where you can listen to Heikyoku, a recitation of The Tale of the Heike accompanied by Heike biwa, while lying down. Why not escape from your daily life and enter the world of The Tale of the Heike? You may feel sleepy from the difficult words and sounds, but it’s fine if you 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] We will be reciting “Yokobue” and “Koremorijusui” from the 10th volume of the Heike Monogatari. Each story depicts the liberation from the suffering of this world and spiritual sublimation. Tokiyori and Yokobue’s story is about spiritual growth and liberation through becoming a monk, while Taira no Koremori chooses the path to enlightenment by ending his own life, severing his lingering feelings for his family and companions. Tale of the Heike, Volume 10: Yokobue Taira no Koremori heads from Yashima to Koyasan, struggling with his feelings for his family left behind in the capital. There he met Takiguchi Nyudo (Takiguchi Tokiyori), a former lover who had turned to Buddhism despite his family’s objections, while still pining for Yokobue. This is the story of Yokobue, who inspired Takiguchi Nyudo to turn to Buddhism, and of how he watched over Taira no Koremori as he took his own life. Tale of the Heike, Volume 10: “Koremorijusui” After visiting the three sacred mountains of Kumano, TairanoKoremori and his party head for the sea. Before Koremori jumps into the water, Takiguchi-nyudo, who has seen how Koremori is wracked with thoughts of his family, wipes away his tears and, feigning composure, tries to persuade him. The play depicts Koremori’s final moments, as he cuts off his lingering attachments and chooses the path of enlightenment.
