Kyūshū Reibo (Taizan Ha)
九州鈴慕
| [Genre] | Honkyoku |
History (Tokuyama Takashi):
| The southern island of Kyūshū is one on the founding places of koten honkyoku. Kyūshū-reibo is said to have come from Icchōken temple in Hakata. This temple, as well as the island of Kyūshū in general, was home to many komusō. During the Edo era, many wandering komusō would stay at these temples, exchanging different pieces and shakuhachi techniques. Gradually, a distinctive fingering technique developed that is now associated with the shakuhachi music that contains the word "reibo" in the title. Fukozenji was a monk of the temple of Ichyokenji. His duties included ringing the bell to announce different functions of the temple. It is said that Fukozenji composed Kyūshū-reibo by concentrating on the image or spirit of the temple bell. |

Yearning for the Bell (Kyushu version) In traditional shakuhachi music there are a number of different pieces with the title Reibo (Yearning for the Bell). This is a reference to the hand bell of legendary Chinese Zen master Fuke, who rang this bell in the 9th century when collecting alms. On the Southern island Kyushu there existed several komuso temples. Perhaps this piece comes from the Itchoken temple before it was then also played at other places. | ||
