2009年7月22日「近藤等則・地球を吹くin Japan」の沖縄編が、沖縄本島の最北部よりさらに北方にある離島、伊平屋島にて行われます。
この島で行う意味は、当日の日食と深い関係があります。
江戸時代の学者・藤井貞幹はその著書「衝口発」に『真正の天の岩戸は琉球の恵平屋(伊平屋)にあり』と記し、本居宣長らと論争になったと記録があります。
南海の孤島にある洞窟の情報は、遥かな距離を越えて確かに江戸に届いていたのです。
その「天の岩戸」と一説で言われている『クマヤ洞窟』前の海岸にて『近藤等則・天の岩戸を吹く』を伊平屋村との共催で、行ないます。
かつて瀬戸内寂聴氏が「あなたの音楽は真言(マントラ)、宇宙に向かって発する言葉なのね」と語ったように、太陽が隠れ地上を闇が支配するなか眼前に拡がる海、そびえる岩戸、刻々と変化する太陽、そして宇宙に語りかける近藤氏の音と共に徐々に光が戻り完全に復活したその時、島の子供達がいっせいに近藤氏の音に加わります。
この、時空を越えた神話はどのように蘇生し、太陽が復活する12時20分9秒に天の岩戸の前でどのような感動を体感させてくれるのでしょうか。
宇宙と、地球と、子供達と、近藤氏の競演は、想像するだけで胸が躍ります。
2009年7月22日。水曜日。
私達が決めた日程ではありません。
宇宙が決めたその日に、伊平屋島でお会いしましょう。
6月22日、近藤等則氏が伊平屋島に入りました。
天の岩戸へ上る近藤氏。
岩戸内部へ入る。
Toshinori Kondo blows at the rock, supposed to be made by the gods, covering the cave entrance on Iheya island -The solar eclipse in Iheya in 2009-
Toshinori Kondo, who has played the electric trumpet among the great nature of Machu Picchu in the Andes , Mt. Mckinley in theUS, Kudaka island in Okinawa and others, is going to give a live improvised performance with kids on the day of the solar eclipse , to impress on us the mysteries of space and legends of ancient times .
Toshinori Kondo blows the earth in Japan:Okinawa is going to be held on the22th of July, 2009 on Iheya island , north of theOkinawa main island.
Date and time : 22th of July , 2009 , 9:30 a.m.
Place : Kumaya cave, Iheya island
The reason the live performance is going to be held on Iheya island is deeply connected with
the solar eclipse that will happen on July22,2009.
one of the old famous scholars in the Edo era(Edo was the former name of Tokyo in “the Samurai era” ) wrote an essay saying the real place of the rock ,supposed to be made by the gods ,covering the cave entrance was on Iheya island , which was one of the Ryukyu islands. But the contents of the essay were controversal in the era.
Now we might question how they knew of the rock, which was on an isolated island and far south of old Edo city.
The live performance is going to be held at the shore which is in front of the rock covering cave called Kumaya cave by locals . And the cosponsor will be the Iheya village office.
What kind of things are we going to feel through the live events?
You might feel a new myth that will go beyond time and space.
As a Japanese famous nun once told before , Kondo’s sounds seem of the kind of spirit which is present in words of heaven.
Kondo’s sound will guide back the sunshine gradually while the sun less sky and darkness cover the earth , and when the sunshine has finally come back to the earth entirely , the 80 kids who live on the island will together join him with his playing.
The live between Toshinori Kondo and the 80 kids surrounded by the earth and space will have a great impact on our imagination.
