History (Takahashi Yujiro):
| This virtuosic shamisen improvisation (kyokubiki) is based on the song "Tsugaru Sansagari". (Sansagari is a shamisen tuning.) Tsugaru-jamisen is one of the few Japanese traditions that allows significant improvisation, which comes to the fore particularly in the solo style. Tsugaru-jamisen contests small and large have long been common. In one early format, two or three players each improvised for a couple of minutes, continuing until all but one had run out of new ideas. |
