Abstract | Although, today, higobiwa is treated as an independent genre, it is apparent that it came into contact with other narrative traditions, borrowed some of their stories, and later reworked them, thus creating a unique world of Kyushu tales.
In this paper, I first provide an overview of this tradition. Then, I will discuss two famous pieces focusing on domestic conflicts and family relationships from the repertory of blind hiwa players from the Kyushu region: Azekakehime あぜかけ姫, the story of a poor young woman, who is tormented by her evil mother-in -law, and Shuntokumaru 俊徳丸, afamous Japanese tale about a wicked stepmother, which is found in several Japanese storytelling genres. |
