From children's games to celestial concerts : representations of entertainement in early Japan
Although the notion of Asobi in ancient Japan corresponds broadly to the concept of « game » in the West, musical entertainment, including songs and dances, constituted an important part of it. These musical entertainments and, consequently, games in general were highly valued during the 12th and the 13th centuries from the Buddhist perspective. Female entertainers played a crucial part in this process. The main sources used in this article are a compilation of courtesans' songs, the Ryôjin hishô (12th c), as well as several collections of edifying anecdotes (13th c.) Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
