| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to clarify the mechanism of intercultural contacts by analyzing Japanese Music and Drama performed in Europe around the turn of the last century.
At Loie Fuller's Theatre, set up for the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, Sada Yacco made her debut, together with her husband, Otojiro Kawakami and his troupe. Sada Yacco become so famous and popular that Loie Fuller, an American-born dancer-manager, decided to engage them for a long tour the following year.
It is now possible to recover portions of performances of the Kawakami troupe from early recordings. There are two different sources. Most of the recordings this troupe made for the Gramophone & Typewriter Company during the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition have been digitalized for Toshiba-EMI. Abraham and Hornbostel also recorded and transcribed portions of the troupe's performances in Berlin in 1901 : these recordings of the Kawakami troupe as well as recordings made in Japan(1911/1913), now in the holdings of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv, were digitalized in 2003.
Inoue studied the relationship between the Kawakami troupe's play, adapting or abridging scenes from Kabuki, and the "avant-garde" dances of Loie Fuller. A program at the Loie-Fuller Theatre usually consisted of a play of the Kawakami troupe with Loie Fuller's performance. The public found the Japanese-American-French cultural contacts in their performances.
Terauchi showed in full detail the actual music performed by the Kawakami troupe from the early recordings and articles concerning Japanese music written at that time. These performances provided scholars of Japanese music in Europe with a wealth of materials.
Watanabe directed his attention to the early recordings made in Japan mentioned above, especially that of "Oiwake", a kind of folk music. These recordings reveal the conditions surrounding Japanese folk music immediately before the modernization and reorganization, which occurred amidst the cultural contact with the West.
