FEATURE Of OLD
JAPAN ENTERTAINMENT

! Far back in the dim past when a
| Prince of the Royal House in Japan
| committed a crime which in COM
moner demanded the death penalty, he
was relegated to monastery for life
! because no one with the blood of the
| Mikados in his veins might suffer the
extreme of the law. Though physically
living he was viewed as legally dead.
His head was covered with a peculiar
i basket-lilze covering which permitted
no one to see him and him to see moth
ing except dinly his way about. No
one ever addressed him and he was
never suffered to speak. All commune
cation with the outside world was cut
off except by one. uncouth medium. A
stout bamboo stick exactly one foot and
eight japanese inches in length,
pierced at regulation intervals with
holes and with a seed-like sharpening
at one end was given him. Through
this he might express his feelings and
by it's primitive music he was allowed
to interpret the meaning of the Kyo-
mon or sacred books over which as a
priest he was compelled to pore for
hours every day
In the course of ages a special class
of music grew UP among these Fukeso
or dead-aliVe priests, who were seen
by the people as they went from house
to house not singing psalms as ordin-
airy priests do but playing for them
on their Shakuhachi, literally One
Eight, i. e.. one foot eight inches in
strument. Using the same melodies to
express similar wants or to interpret
known passages of their scriptures
their music came to have a definite
meaning.
Later on it became the custom to
condemn to become fukeso noted war
riors or other great men whose SER
vices or value to the state forbade the
death penalty. Many of these men
We're famous swordsmen but deprived
of all weapons they We're shut out from
deeds of prowess. Ruling passions are
strong in death, especially was this
true in the living death of fukeso,
who minus his sword turned to his
stout shakuhachi for a weapon Japa-
nese folk lore and fiction are full of
tales of adventure in which these fu-

fanciful history of its own, which sep
arated it from all the mass of its COM

stood for in its palmisst days.
