Have you ever heard of “Goze?”(“go-zay“)
Long before tv or even before radio was common, this performers would travel through town and give singing performances accompanied by the 3-string shamisen. In those days, if a little girl was blind, she had basically 2 career options: to be a masseuse or to be a goze singer.
In Joetsu, groups of goze lived together in a house run by a strict house mother, who trained the women and took care of finances. In some cases, she took on the young girls and raised them for this kind of performing, traveling life. On the road, the goze would sing for rice and lodging. The last living goze house mother in Japan, Sugimoto Kikue, was proclaimed a living cultural artifact in 1970 before she passed away in 1989.
When you visit Joetsu, make sure to visit the Goze Museum, set in a traditional “Machiya”(literally “townhouse”) which is carefully curated by Mr. Ogawa, who is also preserving Japanese culture through the kimono store he runs in a similar traditional structure three doors away. Enjoy the art, dioramas, video and recorded music from this special time in Joetsu history. #joetsu #goze #takada #machiya #art #japan #japanesehistory #shamisen (at きものの小川)

Asia Pacific 80 years ago today: Franco-Thai War (13 April 1941) https://buff.ly/2wF7iUo Thailand saw the French capitulation to Japan as weakness, seizing the opportunity to regain lost territories by invading French Indochina. The Japanese quickly put a stop to this war, but supported Thai claims at the ensuing peace treaty. With its focus now on the south, Japan signed a neutrality pact with the Soviet Union. #1941 #april #april13 #asiapacific #frenchindochina #indochine #vichyfrance #frenchempire #historias #histories #historybuff #historygram #historylovers #historymaker #historyschool #instahistory #japaneseempire #japanesehistory #maps #worldwar2 #wwii #ww2 #worldwarii #thailand #secondworldwar #britishempire #worldatlas #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Bangkok, Thailand)

Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan. However there was some hope for the Chinese - in April their troops managed their first major victory, defeating the Japanese at Tai'erzhuang and temporarily preventing the connection of the two Japanese armies. #1930s #1938 #20thcentury #april #april7 #asiapacific #atlas #axisallies #cartografia #chinesecivilwar #chiangkaishek #chinesehistory #nazigermany #historyclass #historygeek #historymajor #historymaker #historymatters #historymuseum #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #mapa #maps #sinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #ww2 #wwii #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall)
