About the event

【11/8sat. 地獄太夫と妖怪行列】
【11/8 sat, 地獄太夫と in 堺能楽会館】
堺でにぎわいを見せていた「高須遊廓」と「乳守遊廓」。
室町以前から存在していたといわれる廓(くるわ)に一休禅師が弟子として見初めた地獄太夫という伝説の遊女が居た。

“ききしより見ておそろしき地獄かな(一休宗純)”

さて、一休禅師没後 297年経った1778年。
「鉄方堂」と名乗る男による「沙界怪談実記」が発刊された。幻書と異名するこの一冊は未だ原本は見つかっておらず、郷土史研究会の会誌「和泉史」への掲載が認められるのみ。

堺という、古墳時代より「都市」であった謎の地域が現存する。

かつて栄華を極め日本の中核にまで登りつめた「堺」。しかし令和の現在どれだけの人々がこの地の名を口にするのだろう。

もしかすると、記憶から消し去ってしまいたいほどの何かが蠢いていたのではないか…?

堺に行きついた悲喜交々の念が地獄太夫を誕生させ、おどろおどろしい噂が人々の恐怖となり見えぬ怪奇を呼ぶ。
一冊の本にまとめられた怪談は、ともすると地獄太夫の時代から口伝となり継承され、時に恐れ、時に娯楽として愛されてきたのかもしれない。

そんなことを考えながら

[地獄太夫]と共に、みなで妖怪になり、今年幕を閉じる堺能楽会館に集ってみませんか?

[Saturday, November 8th, with Jigoku Tayu at Sakai Nohgaku Kaikan]
The bustling "Takasu Pleasure Quarters" and "Nyumori Pleasure Quarters" of Sakai were once home to a legendary prostitute named Jigoku Tayu, whom Zen master Ikkyu fell in love with as his apprentice.
"Hell is more terrifying than I have heard it to be" (Ikkyu Sojun)

Now, in 1778, 297 years after the death of Zen master Ikkyu,
A mysterious author calling himself "Tetsuhodo" published "Shakai Kaidan Jikki" (The True Story of the Shakai Kaidan) in 1778. The original of this book, nicknamed "Phantom Book," has yet to be found, and it has only been recognized in the journal "Izumishi" of the Local History Research Society.

Sakai, a mysterious region that has existed since the Kofun period, still exists today. Sakai once enjoyed great prosperity and rose to the heart of Japan. But how many people in the Reiwa era still mention the name of this place?

Was it possible that something so powerful that they wanted to erase it from their memories was stirring there...?

The mixed emotions of joy and sorrow that reached Sakai gave birth to Jigoku Tayu, and the terrifying rumors terrified people and gave rise to unseen mysteries.

The ghost stories compiled in a book have likely been passed down orally since the time of Jigoku Tayu, sometimes feared and sometimes loved as entertainment...

With these thoughts in mind,
Why not become a yokai with Jigoku Tayu and gather at the Sakai Nohgaku Kaikan, where the Nohgaku Festival will close its doors this year?
