★2026高雄春天藝術節重磅國際節目㇐〈日本傳統藝能之夜〉

★一夜穿越江戶時代—歌舞伎、舞踊、邦樂交織呈現日本傳統藝能盛宴

★重要無形文化財傳承者領銜演繹極致之美

「藝能是歷經時間淬煉，傳承於血脈中的文化記憶。」

高雄春天藝術節在2026年迎來第17屆。今年的亮點節目《日本江戶傳統藝能之夜》中，邀請來日本傳統音樂代表性的藝能名門——由三兄弟所組成的「三響會」一員，同時也是重要無形文化財傳承者—田中傳次郎老師親自為KSAF策劃，並且執導、演出，帶領觀眾走入日本傳統藝能的精神核心，一窺跨越世代、脈脈相傳的文化樣貌。演出架構以江戶時代所確立的傳統藝能為主軸。江戶時期不僅是日本舞台藝術形式之美集大成的時期，同時也是建立起以「傳承」為骨幹的藝能制度之時代。技藝不再為個人所有，而是代代相傳、必須不斷琢磨昇華的文化責任。正因為如此，無形文化財所重視的不僅只是技法本身，還包括背後傳承的精神和文化記憶。

“Traditional performing arts are cultural memories refined by time and passed down through bloodlines.”

The Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival welcomes its 17th edition in 2026. One of this year’s highlight programs, An Evening of Edo-Period Traditional Japanese Performing Arts, features one of Japan’s most distinguished traditional music lineages—Sankyokai, an ensemble formed by three brothers. The program is curated, directed, and performed specifically for KSAF by Tanaka Denjiro, a bearer of an Important Intangible Cultural Property. Through his artistic vision, audiences are guided into the spiritual core of Japanese traditional performing arts, offering a rare glimpse into a cultural legacy that has been passed down through generations.

The structure of the performance centers on traditional performing arts established during the Edo period. This era not only marked the culmination of aesthetic refinement in Japanese stage arts, but also the formation of an artistic system grounded in the principle of transmission. Artistic mastery ceased to belong to the individual alone; instead, it became a cultural responsibility—one that must be continuously refined, elevated, and entrusted to succeeding generations. For this reason, Important Intangible Cultural Properties preserve not only techniques themselves, but also the spirit, values, and cultural memory that underpin their transmission.

「我們應該悉心守護跨越世代傳承的藝能家和以其〈知・動・音〉。」

本公演匯聚日本武道、邦樂與傳統舞踊的精髓，從市瀨秀和的《武道・居合道》出發，以身刀合一的演武，呈現日本武道對生死、美與心志的深層思想；和太鼓奏者辻勝、音間大誠與津輕三味線名家佐佐木光儀流二代家元共演〈和太鼓組曲〉，在層層迴響的節奏中，展現日本傳統邦樂與地域、儀禮及身體節奏交織的歷史脈絡。演出亦包含源自能樂儀式、象徵祈念與重生的〈三番叟〉，由田中傳次郎與長男龜井太一於台灣首度父子同台共演，體現世代傳承的使命；並由傳承稀少「歌舞伎囃子方」技藝的田中傳次郎演奏《船弁慶》，以多層次音樂推動情感與戲劇張力。歌舞伎名門出身的大谷廣松則帶來舞踊《島之千歳》，以踏步為節奏、身體配合樂器，與鼓聲精準呼應，展現「身體、音聲、空間」合而為一的傳統美學。本公演並特別呈現歌舞伎隈取化妝與著裝，讓觀眾近距離體驗登台前的準備儀式。最後，壓軸登場的《石橋》將以歌舞伎獨有的舞踊與音樂共演出磅礡能量，層層堆疊情緒，將現場氣氛一舉推向最高峰。

“We are entrusted with the careful preservation of the knowledge, movement, and sound carried by artists whose traditions span generations.”

This performance brings together the essence of Japanese martial arts, traditional music, and classical dance. It opens with Martial Arts: Iaido by Ichinose Hidekazu, whose disciplined demonstration of unity between body and sword embodies the profound Japanese philosophies of life and death, beauty, and inner resolve.

The program continues with the Taiko Suite, performed by taiko drummers Tsuji Masaru and Otoma Taisei, together with Sasaki Mitsuyoshi, second-generation grand master of the Tsugaru shamisen school. Through layered, resonant rhythms, the piece reveals the historical interweaving of Japanese traditional music with regional identity, ritual practice, and embodied rhythm.

Also featured is Sanbasō, a work originating from Noh ritual traditions and symbolizing prayer and renewal. This performance marks the first father-and-son appearance in Taiwan by Tanaka Denjiro and his eldest son Kamei Taichi, powerfully expressing the mission and responsibility of artistic transmission across generations. Tanaka Denjiro—one of the few remaining masters of Kabuki hayashi (musical accompaniment)—also performs Funabenkei, in which multilayered music drives emotional depth and dramatic tension, demonstrating the central role of kabuki music in theatrical expression.

Kabuki artist Ōtani Hiromatsu, born into a distinguished kabuki family, presents the dance Shima no Senzai, where rhythm is shaped through footwork and the dancer’s body becomes an instrument itself. In precise dialogue with the drum accompaniment, the performance reveals a traditional aesthetic in which body, sound, and space merge as one.

The program further includes a special presentation of kabuki kumadori makeup and costume dressing, offering audiences a rare, close-up view of the sacred preparations undertaken before stepping onto the stage. The evening concludes with a grand finale of kabuki dance, in which music drives the atmosphere to its climactic peak.

企劃‧製作團隊 | 三響會

由龜井廣忠、田中傳左衛門、田中傳次郎三兄弟，於1997年成立。三人出生並成長於藝術世家，父親為能樂葛野流大鼓方的人間國寶──龜井忠雄，母親則為歌舞伎囃子田中流前家元──第九代田中佐太郎。三兄弟以囃子為媒介，在尊重能樂與歌舞伎各自傳統的基礎上，持續探索嶄新的種種可能。

兄弟三人自幼便自由探索於「能樂」與「歌舞伎」這兩種相隔兩百年的傳統藝術之間。隨著歲月推移，長兄投身能樂，次兄與么弟則專注於歌舞伎，各自在不同的世界中潛心修行。然而，修行愈深，愈開始思考：「是否能在不破壞兩種藝術領域既有規範的前提下、自由往返其間，創造出唯有三響會才能呈現的演出形式。」因此，作為創造這一可能性的舞臺，三兄弟決定舉辦此會，並希望珍視由廣忠的大鼓、傳左衛門的小鼓、傳次郎的太鼓這三種樂器，以及三人傾注的氣魄所產生的「共鳴」。基於此理念，將本會命名為「三響會」。今後亦將透過融合等多樣演出形式，持續探索並創造傳統藝能的趣味與魅力。

Program Concept & Production Team | Sankyokai

Sankyokai was founded in 1997 by three brothers—Hirotada Kamei, Denzaemon Tanaka, and Denjiro Tanaka. Born and raised in a distinguished artistic family, their father was Tadao Kamei, a Living National Treasure and master drummer of the Kadono School of Noh hayashi (ōtsuzumi), while their mother was Satarō Tanaka IX, former head of the Tanaka School of Kabuki hayashi. Using hayashi—traditional musical accompaniment—as their medium, the three brothers continue to explore new artistic possibilities while maintaining deep respect for the individual traditions of Noh and Kabuki.

From an early age, the brothers freely traversed the worlds of Noh and Kabuki, two classical art forms separated by nearly two centuries in their historical development. As they matured, the eldest brother devoted himself to Noh, while the middle and youngest brothers pursued Kabuki, each undergoing rigorous training within their respective disciplines. Over time, a shared question emerged: Could they move freely between these two traditions—without violating their established forms—and create a mode of performance that only Sankyokai could realize?

To give shape to this vision, the brothers established Sankyokai as a platform for creation. They sought to cherish the resonance born from their three instruments—Hirotada’s ōtsuzumi, Denzaemon’s kotsuzumi, and Denjiro’s taiko—as well as from the spirit and intensity each performer brings to the stage. From this guiding principle came the name “Sankyokai” (Three Resonances).

Moving forward, Sankyokai continues to explore and reimagine the appeal and vitality of traditional performing arts through diverse forms of collaboration and fusion, opening new pathways for classical expression while remaining firmly rooted in tradition.
