Abstract

Jishinkyo, a tale narrated by blind monks with a biwa guitar in southwest Japan, mainly the Kyushu area, was originally derived from the narration rendered by blind mendicants who were wandering in the Korean Peninsula. Later in Japan, the tale became known nationwide as Goro-Oji-tan and came down into the phrases of such festival songs as "Dokushin-saimon" and "Gogyo-kagura." In this essay, I will trace the overdetermined history of the tale while relating it to ancient astrology, the Gogyo theory of Yin and Yang, or the Banko legend of China.
