The Opera Chûshingura and Japanese Emotionalism
SAEGUSA Shigeaki
Several years ago I had a startling experience in Moscow, where a concert of my works was being performed. Some journalists there expressed amazement that Japan had composers of classical music who could write orchestral works. They did not even know there were orchestras in Japan, and were astounded when I told them Tokyo alone had nine. Apparently they thought the Japanese listened exclusively to kabuki and nô music.
But so many Japanese musicians take prizes in the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, I said. The journalists knew this, and they had been to Japan, but they told me they had been taken to kabuki and nô. They were unaware of the existence of orchestras and thought most Japanese still went to kabuki and nô, not modern theater. This huge perception gap came as a shock to me. I wonder what percent of the Japanese population actually attends kabuki and nô performances today. The fact is that almost no one does; most people are steeped in Western musical culture.
When a country shows off its culture to the world, people may be intrigued by ethnic forms but seem to find them very hard to understand. People say Indonesian and Indian music is fascinating, but aside from an idiosyncratic handful, few would listen to it every day. Being hard to fathom, perhaps its main appeal is its exoticism.
Western clothing--not Japanese kimono--appears to be one area in which Japan can share its culture with the world. This seems to herald an age in which the thinking of people everywhere rests on the same base. What Japanese artists are internationally renowned? The names Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and Rei Kawakubo are always included in listings of the world's top 10 fashion designers. If they were just kimono designers, they probably would not be ranked at all. I think they are world famous because they design Western-style clothing with a Japanese sensibility. The key to Miyake's designs, for example, is the way a single piece of cloth is draped--just like kimono. He has skillfully superimposed a "kimono sensibility" on a Western-clothing base. It is this originality, this ability to overlay a different culture on a Western substrate, that so many of the world's critics and intellectuals admire in Japanese designers.
I believe it should be possible to do the same with music. If we take the music of the samisen, of the koto, of nô, to other countries just as it is, most people will have great difficulty understanding it. What is more, it cannot be replicated in countries where there are no musicians who can play the traditional Japanese instruments. Should we not, then, take Western music as our base? The question is how much of a Japanese flavor can be transmitted when doing so.
In the West, especially among northern Europeans, music is a medium for transmitting thought. They have a strong aversion to immersing themselves in sheer feeling, although this is not true of Slavic composers and some composers from Latin cultures. The Japanese regard intoxication as beautiful. They get drunk on cherry blossoms, on liquor, on emotion. They prize music and theater that tugs at their heartstrings. Germanic and Anglo-Saxon peoples, however, seem to put the mind (logic) before the heart.
Let us look at my opera Chûshingura (The Treasury of Loyal Retainers), based on a famous true story of allegiance and vengeance in early-eighteenth-century Japan.*
I asked Werner Herzog, a German, to direct the production of Chûshingura performed in Tokyo this past May, reasoning that if I used a Japanese director, the opera would lack an international resonance. Herzog made a most interesting observation. Germans, he said, commit suicide by shooting themselves in the head, Italians by stabbing themselves in the heart, and the Japanese by slitting the belly. This struck me as a telling metaphor of the way different peoples perceive things, process emotions, understand art--with the head, the heart, or the belly. In reality, we probably do all this with the head, but we perceive it as emanating from the head, the heart, or the belly. One hundred percent of Japanese would say the seat of emotions is the abdomen or the navel, whereas most Westerners would say it is the head.
Where one perceives the seat of emotions to be makes a big difference to the way one understands things. How then should I, as a Japanese composer, approach Western music?
As I have said, the Japanese love to immerse themselves in emotion. They have a strong predilection for music that drowns them in feeling. The idea is to move as many people as possible to tears. Germanic and Anglo-Saxon peoples scorn sentimentality, but Russians and most Italians regard music as a sensuous experience. In this they are very close to the Japanese. In Chûshingura I aimed to create a new kind of music, as a Japanese composer, by superimposing Japanese sentiment on a Western base.
I chose the story of Chûshingura for a number of reasons. For one thing, I wanted to show that the Japanese "company man" actually has a 400-year tradition. Japan is a most interesting country. For the 260-plus years of the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1867) it had a bureaucratic government run by samurai. The functionaries of both the feudal domains known as han and the central shogunal government, or bakufu, they were the equivalent of today's "salary men." Of the 46 men who broke into Kira's mansion, only one--Horibe Yasubei--had ever actually used his sword as a weapon. The rest came from families that had been bureaucrats for generations and had never drawn sword against another human being. In short, they were salary men. When their "company" (their domain) was abruptly destroyed, they were enraged by the injustice of it all. As their reaction indicates, the Japanese have an inborn propensity for occasionally exploding in extreme behavior.
Why has the story of Chûshingura, a minor historical episode, had such a lasting appeal for the Japanese? Even if the retainers' assault succeeded, they gained nothing. Win or lose, their lives were forfeit. They had to bid farewell to wives, children, lovers. Theirs was a selfless, profitless fight. Most generals fought to expand their territory or defend their holdings; these men rose up even though they had nothing to gain, even though their own death was the inevitable outcome. The same can be said of the kamikaze pilots of World War II, a little over 50 years ago. The Japanese find this sort of thing extremely beautiful. Through my opera I wanted to show the way the Japanese are seized by the urge to throw themselves into selfless action, as well as the fact that in the Genroku era (1688-1704), as today, there were others motivated by greed for gain.
Back in the Tokugawa period samurai accounted for about 7% of the population; the same proportion of the population belongs to the bureaucracy today. Amazingly, the basic structure of bureaucratic rule by 7% of the people did not change even when the samurai class was abolished after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 that toppled the shogunate. Another thing I find interesting is that salary men, the private-sector equivalent of bureaucrats, really do work faithfully for their companies' sake. Why does the world criticize the hard-working Japanese so? To toil faithfully is, I believe, part of our national culture.
I also wanted to make an indirect statement about Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan, which renounces war and the possession of war potential. Today there is debate over the pros and cons of Article 9, but in the Tokugawa period Japan did enjoy a long stretch of peace. For about a century before that the nation had been torn by incessant strife among rival domains. During the Sengoku, or Warring States, period (1467-1568) Japan produced more guns--the so-called Tanegashima muskets--than anywhere else in the world. When the nation was finally unified and pacified, there was an abrupt change. Guns and swords were rounded up, and the rule that only samurai could own weapons transformed murderous warrior groups into bureaucrats. This too I find highly interesting. I wish the whole world could be disarmed and fighting stopped. Article 9's ideal of no weapons and no fighting represents, I think, a new philosophy worth spreading. The dangerous Japanese propensity for extreme behavior, exemplified by the story of Chûshingura and by kamikaze pilots, suggests that if Japan ever became adept at crisis management the result could be a kind of fascism. To have Article 9 together with this dangerous propensity--what a contradiction! The peace imposed by the Tokugawa shogunate, the delicate balance achieved between warring impulses in the Japanese psyche, was shattered by the arrival of the "black ships" of U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry in the mid-nineteenth century. I wished to make the point that we did, nonetheless, enjoy a long period of tranquillity before that.
One way to make Japan a respected nation is to appeal for a new philosophy of peace and disarmament. Doing so would demonstrate that the Anglo-Saxon worldview of Western Europe is not the only one, that there is room for a new worldview advocating unarmed peace. I believe Japan can make an international contribution in ways that do not involve force, such as educational and medical cooperation.
I wanted to show that Japan can build a new culture on a base shared by the world. That is why I chose the genre of opera rather than kabuki or nô. Chûshingura has received a mixed reaction. Some critics have said the music is too emotional. I suppose it is, according to the Western mind-set. But I believe it is true to the Japanese way of thinking.
*In 1701 Asano Naganori, lord of the domain of Akô, was goaded into drawing his sword against Kira Yoshinaka, a high-ranking direct retainer of the Tokugawa shôgun, during a reception at Edo Castle. This was an unforgivable breach of etiquette, and Asano was condemned to commit ritual suicide--seppuku, or self-disembowelment with a sword. Forty-seven of his samurai retainers vowed to avenge him. In January 1703, after almost two years' plotting, all but one of their number assaulted Kira in his Edo mansion and killed him. Cutting off his head, they laid it at their master's grave, then turned themselves in to the authorities. They were allowed to commit ritual suicide and were buried near their lord.--Ed.
