Songs to Make the Dust Dance on the Beams

The RyÅjin HishÅ (æ¢å¡µç§˜æŠ„, Songs to Make the Dust Dance on the Beams) is an anthology of imayÅ ä»Šæ§˜ songs. Originally it consisted of two collections joined together by Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa: the KashishÅ« æŒè©žé›† and the KudenshÅ« å£ä¼é›†. The works were probably from the repertoire of the Emperor's tutor, the aged singer Otomae, whose superlative mastery of the art derived from four generations of teachers.^[1]^[2] Only a fragment (about 10%) of this work is still extant. These songs were very popular in the 12th century Japan, but quickly fell into disuse in the Kamakura period.^[3]
