Yatsu-byoshi

It is a rhythm structure with 8 beats as one unit. It is the most basic rhythm of Noh, and in principle, the song that matches the beat, is strongly conscious of which character of the song corresponds to which beat; one phrase is chanted in eight beats. In addition, the mai dances such as ” Nakano-mai “, ” Otoko-mai “, and ” Kami-mai ” are also performed with a rhythm of eight beats , and the practical skill of Noh and eight beats are closely related.
