Abstract
Throughout the 1960-90s, the literary romantic images of continental silk road had sparked Japanese overseas travels to Dunhuang, followed by a wave of media productions on tourism and exoticism in the society. In the start of the trend, the Min-On Concert Association of Japan (est. 1963, hereafter “Min-On 民音“), initiated “Musical Voyages along the Silk Road”, a concert series bringing diverse intercultural exchange on stage by organizing nationwide performances for over two decades. Min-On commissioned this modern silk road expedition, offering professor Fumio Koizumi (1927-83) to conduct fieldwork along the silk road, endeavored to realize the “Spiritual Silk Road 精神シルクロード” (Ikeda, 1975), a concept of the founder Daisaku Ikeda (1928–2023). Led by Koizumi, a research group was formed and had travelled to Xinjiang, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Pakistan, India, even reached Turkey during 1977–1982. The team achieved in exploring the correlation of music and dance between Japan and the silk road and Eurasia.
This paper examines the live recordings published to discuss how Koizumi connected Japan to the silk road across Eurasia, in his visions of the shared musical traits within the songs, instruments and dance. His perspective tracing the foreign influences, especially those from China, upon Japanese music and dance can be read as an opposition to “DatsuA (Leaving Asia)” the prewar idea linked with Meiji restoration. This paper also studied the travelogue of Toshio Fujita (1928-2020), concert director joined in the research trips. He pointed out Min-On’s diplomatic effort to invite various groups (Fujita 2005), along with full details about the trips visiting places under communist China and former USSR, backdropped by Sino-Japan diplomacy and international relationships of the time. The concert series has not only re-connected Japan and Asia historically, but also enhanced Japan’s contemporary international friendship, contributing to cultural exchange and peace.

本次發表的主題為卑南族建和部落的傳統歌謠復振。除回顧已發表之作品外，也探索旋律、節奏及歌詞形成的過程、分析歌詞所涵蓋的語言面向等。經過多年累積，建和部落已創造出自己的歌謠並於祭典中演唱。
My research focused on the revitalization of traditional songs of the Kasavakan Pinuyumayan. I have reviewed published songs and the development of melodies, rhythms, and lyrics. Additionally, I have analyzed the linguistic structure of the lyrics of Kasavakan songs. Over the years, the Kasavakan community has created its own folk songs, and they sing the songs in the ceremonies.
