| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research illustrates the special characteristics of the Nogawa-style “Jiuta” shamisen, a style traditionally from Osaka. This research involved (1) collecting the characteristics of the Nogawa-style shamisen seen in literature, (2) examining actual period instruments, (3) collecting and analyzing audio recordings up to the start of the Showa period, (3) determining, via restoration of period instruments, that the style’s unique sound quality is produced by the “Mizubari” skinning method, and (5) performing with restored instruments.
In summary, examining the harmonic characteristics of restored instruments provided scientific evidence of differences with today’s “Jiuta” shamisen. Furthermore, the reason the “Mizubari” skinning became obsolete and the history of improvement identified a connection with the “Gidayu” shamisen, leading to the conclusion that the physical appearance of the Nogawa-style “Jiuta” shamisen were influenced by the “Gidayu” shamisen.
