Okayama (Dance)

Okayama (岡山) is a Japanese kōwaka-mai of the hōgan-mono genre (works about Minamoto no Yoshitsune) composed in the Muromachi period.

 

It tells the story of the bereaved relatives of Satō Tsugunobu and Satō Tadanobu, two of Yoshitsune's retainers. The text of the work has been connected to a passage in the Gikeiki, and it is a sequel to the kōwaka Yashima. The libretto survives in a single manuscript in the holdings of Tenri Central Library.
