, also known by the Chinese-style name , was a Ryūkyūan aristocrat-bureaucrat credited with the creation of the Ryūkyūan dance-drama form known as ''kumi odori''. Tamagusuku was born in what is today the Gibo neighborhood of Shuri.〔"(Tamagusuku Chôkun )." ''Okinawa Konpakuto Jiten'' (沖縄コンパクト事典, "Okinawa Compact Encyclopedia"). Ryukyu Shimpo. 1 March 2003. Accessed 2 November 2009.〕 A member of the aristocrat-bureaucrat class of the Ryūkyū Kingdom, Tamagusuku had already journeyed to Edo and Kagoshima five times before being named ''udui bugyō'' (J: ''odori bugyō''; Magistrate of Dance) in 1715. The title was first held by Tansui Ueekata (, 1622-1683), and was a post chiefly responsible for organizing the formal entertainments of the Chinese investiture envoys to Ryukyu.〔Foley, Kathy. "Kumi Odori's Historical Context and Performance Practice." in Ryukyu Geino: The Legacy of Kin Ryosho. Jimpu Kai USA Kin Ryosho Ryukyu Geino Kenkyusho Hawaii Shibu, 2008. pp45-56.〕 Having studied and viewed various Japanese dance and drama forms during his trips to Edo and Kagoshima, including Noh, kabuki and kyōgen,〔"Tamagusuku Chôkun." ''Okinawa rekishi jinmei jiten'' (沖縄歴史人名事典, "Encyclopedia of People of Okinawan History"). Naha: Okinawa Bunka-sha, 1996. p46.〕 after regaining the title of ''udui bugyô'' in 1718, Tamagusuku formulated the dance-drama form known as ''kumi udui'' in Okinawan, and as ''kumi odori'' in Japanese. It was then performed for the first time, before the Chinese investiture envoys, on a chrysanthemum-viewing day, the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the following year.〔 The two plays performed that day are called ''Nidō Tichiuchi'' (The Vendetta of the Two Sons) and ''Shūshin Kani'iri'' (Possessed by Love, Thwarted by the Bell).〔 Though it's presumed that he wrote many more, five plays by Tamagusuku survive today, and are still performed.〔 They are known today as ''Chōkūun no Goban'' ("The Chōkun Five Plays") or just ''Goban'' ("The Five Plays").〔 The other three are: ''Mekarushi'', ''Kōkō nu Maki'' (Filial Piety), and ''Unna Munu Gurui'' (The Madwoman).〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tamagusuku Chōkun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
