長唄「鷺娘」Sagimusume

長唄「鷺娘」Sagimusume　花柳礼太郎
The song begins with the words, "My heart, lost in love on a misty night when the clouds of delusion have not yet cleared.” This part called "oki" is the "preface" to this story.
The main character is wearing a bridal gown, that is, it is the day of her wedding, so why then, is the setting so gloomy?
The white bridal gown is a sign of purity, but the main character had fallen in love with another man before her wedding day and she still has feelings for him. As a result, she will burn in the fires of hell.
There is a theory that the name of this piece is a play on words between 詐欺 "sagi" meaning "scam" (because she is trying to marry a man by faking her purity) and 鷺 "sagi" meaning "heron". However, the truth cannot be known for certain.
この曲は「妄執の雲晴れやらぬ朧夜の　恋に迷ひしわが心」で始まります。この「置き」と呼ばれる部分がこの物語の「前説」です。
主人公は花嫁衣装を着ている、つまり嫁入りの日なのに、なぜそんなに暗い状況なのか。
花嫁衣装の白無垢は純潔の証。なのに、この主人公はこの嫁入り以前に恋をして、いまだその男への想いを抱えているからなのです。
それゆえ、最後は地獄の業火に焼かれることになります。
一説には「詐欺」（純潔を偽って嫁入りしようとしているので）と「鷺」をかけたものだという話もありますが、真偽は定かではありません。

私は英語ができないので、日本語の返信ですみません。 この曲は「妄執の雲晴れやらぬ朧夜の　恋に迷ひしわが心」で始まります。この「置き」と呼ばれる部分がこの物語の「前説」です。 主人公は花嫁衣装を着ている、つまり嫁入りの日なのに、なぜそんなに暗い状況なのか。 花嫁衣装の白無垢は純潔の証。なのに、この主人公はこの嫁入り以前に恋をして、いまだその男への想いを抱えているからなのです。 それゆえ、最後は地獄の業火に焼かれることになります。 一説では「詐欺（Japanese reading：sagi）（scam）」（純潔を偽って嫁入りしようとしているので）と「鷺（Japanese reading：sagi）（heron）」をかけたものだという話もありますが、真偽は定かではありません。

Muchos de estos trajes son maquinas del tiempo que dejaron los emperadores del pasado y otros personages del Japón para que su espiritu viaje al JAPON actual....

[@junluna]

Parece que es raro en el mundo que las antiguas artes escénicas todavía se realicen de la misma forma. Me encanta poder sentir cosas que han cambiado y cosas que no han cambiado al entrar en contacto con artes escénicas antiguas.

[@emmapeel8163]

this performance is AWESOME although i learned all actors are men .. this is a woman, yes? the gestures & movements are of a female body.

[@giammonagiada4592]

I'm wondering, is the performer a man or a woman? In any case such an amazing performance! It mesmerizes me, is like a dream...

[@junluna]

Thank you for your comment! The performer (I) is a woman. I am very happy that you enjoyed it. It's encouraging.

Winter widow dancer name of the play

[@junluna]

Thank you for your comment. I'm happy. However, the main character of this story is not a widow, but a daughter who is about to be married, and the white dress she wears is a bridal dress.
