Jōruri (music)
Narrative music of traditional Japanese puppet theater / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jōruri (浄瑠璃) is a form of traditional Japanese narrative music in which a tayū (太夫) sings to the accompaniment of a shamisen.[1] Jōruri accompanies bunraku, traditional Japanese puppet theater.[2] As a form of storytelling, jōruri emphasizes the lyrics and narration rather than the music itself.[3]
