日本祭のための練習や準備で花月のお稽古がしばらくできていませんでしたので、復習のために2か月ぶりに平花月のお稽古をしました。
覚えている部分とすっかり忘れているところとありましたが、前回と比べて、皆花月を楽しむことができたようです。
ただ、花月の式を一回することを一騎ということから見ても、この点前は楽しむというよりは常にほかの動きに集中して、それぞれの役割を正しく行う修行ととらえ始終緊張感をもって行う式なのです。
Due to preparations and practice for a Japanese festival, I haven’t had the opportunity to practice kagetsu for a while. So, after a break of two months, I revisited the practice of Hirakagetsu for review. There were parts we remembered and others we had completely forgotten. However, compared to the previous session, it seems that everyone was able to enjoy kagetsu.
Considering the term “Ikki (a man-to-man fight),” which refers to performing the Kagetsu once, it becomes clear that the role of each member is more about constantly concentrating on other movements, viewing it as a training to fulfill each role correctly, and conducting the ceremony with a continuous sense of tension rather than simply for enjoyment.
