Origin unknown: YOBIDAKE -UKEDAKE 2-shaku 5-sun 1 min. 4 sec. 1. About the title: It was customary for komuso priests, when they chanced to cross paths while out collecting alms, to greet one another with this piece. One priest would first play Yobidake ("calling bamboo"). In this way, if the first priest played Yobidake three times, and the other priest could not respond with Ukedake, he was exposed as an imposter, a bogus priest (in Japanese: maisu). The style of playing this Yobidake-Ukedake varied with the school that the komuso belonged to, so that it was possible to distinguish where a priest came from by the style of his playing. 2. Structure of the piece The Yobidake is played in a two breath melody which rises from the lowest tone to the highest tone within KO (the second octave). The Ukedake is the same melody played in RO (the first octave). Yobidake is played three times, while Ukedake is played once.

During the Edo period of Japan (1603-1868), a komuso challenged another wanderer by playing the "call" portion of Yobi Take/Uke Take (Calling and responding bamboo). An authentic komuso would be able to play the correct response, after which the two would play the final passage together.

It is said that when two Komuso met on the road, they would greet each other by playing this song. The first would play it in the low register (otsu) and the second would respond by playing the same melody in the higher register (kan). The Komuso were always on the alert for impostors and were known to inflict severe punishment on those who proved unable to play Otai.

As we noted earlier, komuso were not supposed to speak unnecessarily. If they encountered each other outside of the temple, collecting alms, they employed ritualized, nonverbal greetings, one of which was playing this piece. One would first play Yori Dake (calling bamboo), and the second would respond with Uki Dake (receiving bamboo). Then they would play the last part together. But if the first priest played the Yori Dake melody three times, and the other priest could not respond with Uki Dake, he was exposed as an imposter, a bogus priest, called a maisu. He would then be treated accordingly. Punishments for dressing as a komuso and not being able to play this piece were at some times rather severe, to say the least. In other, more decadent times, such as the Edo period, samurai would often dress as komuso when visiting places to which their dignity should not have permitted them to go. Since details of the style in which Yori Dake-Uki Dake was played varied from school to school, it was possible to distinguish where a priest came from, based on his style of playing. As a performance piece, Yori Dake is generally played three times, while Uki Dake is played only once. A 2.4 length flute is used in this recording.
