Biwa is a plucked stringed instrument used in Japan to play gagaku (lit. ‘elegant music’) at the Imperial Court and in selected important Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. It was also played by travelling monks, biwa hōshi, who performed tales and narrative songs that chronicled the achievements of warriors in battle. It is generally played using bachi, a fan-shaped pick, rather than the fingers, and several types of biwa have been developed to suit different genres and performance styles, from classical to modern: gaku-biwa, gogen-biwa, mōsō-biwa, heike-biwa, satsuma-biwa, chikuzen biwa and nishiki-biwa. In March 2024, internationally-acclaimed satsuma biwa performer Kubota Akiko is touring the UK with On an Endless Road: Itō Noe and the Women Composers of her Time, a programme of music by Japanese women composers, contemporary to feminist writer and anarchist Itō Noe (1895-1923). Japan House London welcomes Kubota Akiko and British composer Francesca Le Lohé for a special talk and demonstration exploring the history of biwa, the different types of the instrument and demonstrate how the characteristic sounds of the biwa are made. During the event, Kubota performs a work from the satsuma biwa’s classical repertoire as well as an extract from a new work specifically written for her by Le Lohé, Itō Noe: On an Endless Road. This piece highlights the life and work of Itō Noe: a contributor and later editor of feminist magazine Seito and publisher of social worker periodicals with her anarchist partner Osugi Sakae. Itō wrote prolifically throughout her short life before her tragic murder at the age of 28. Kubota and Le Lohé illustrate why this is the perfect subject for a new piece for biwa and discuss their artistic collaboration.
