Abstract

As any system of waka poetics cannot be completed by a single poet, so no system of music can be formed by a single musician. Then what can a musician do individually if he or she wants to construct the so-called "house of music" and transmit it for generations? And, moreover, if he or she doesn't belong to any school or group like the underground musicians of the Middle Ages? Here I will make an attempt to answer these questions by reading Bunki-dan, a collection of essays on music published in the Kamakura Period, and Fujiwara-no-Takamichi's writing about music. In so doing, I will also examine the relation between the "house" of underground music and the aristocratic society.
