| Research Abstract |
Among min'you (folk songs) in Shizuoka Prefecture, we focused on chauta (tea songs) including chabushi (tea chants), chamomi uta and chatsurm uta (the latter two are both working songs for tea). This is not only because tea production has been played an important role in industry and culture in Shizuoka Prefecture, but also movements for creating "tea culture", of which taste can be seen at "Sekai ocha matsuri (The International Tea Festival)" has been conspicuous. We interviewed persons who are working at institutions promoting tea culture and tea merchants to survey people's needs for our research results, and found that to recreate chauta and to develop a new form of performance for it in order to make chauta to be an art form collaborating with local industry and cultural activities are required.
We summarize our research and publication (including composition and performances) by the following 4 aspects. (1)We visited local, domestic and foreign institutions and facilities searchin

g for an establishment of a data base and for a tendency of contemporary performing art form. As a result, we realized issues on archives, especially those of techniques and ethics for gathering, updating and opening to public. (2)We investigated preceding examples of recreation of modern form of min'you by visiting museums and concerts. These present us how folk songs of the East and West of all time have been recreated and performed. We confirmed the importance of understanding new form of performing arts within historical and cultural context. (3)In December, 2004, we hold a gathering of researchers of tea culture and performing arts, an educator and koto players to perform a motif of "Chauta" and to discuss a recreation of min'you. Considering this, we completed composing "Chauta varie II" and performed it at a symposium held under the auspices of Nihon ongaku hyougen gakkai (Japan Music Expression Society) and our project on 2 July, 2005. In October and. in November, we had lecture concerts at Nihondaira Zoo and Granship. A part of these concerts with interviews were broadcasted by SBS and NHK television, and Shizuoka Shinbun reviewed the activities. (4)We organized a lecture of koto inviting professional koto players and learned basic practices. This made us understood the relationship between Japanese traditional music and tea culture.
Throughout our research, each researcher cooperatively participated making use of each profession. We would like to continue our research developing our spirit, which we have learned by this project working. Less
