, also known as kuchi showa or kuchi shoka, is an educational musical notation for traditional Japanese drums, particularly the taiko and the tsuzumi. ''Kuchi shōga'' phoneticizes (that is, phonetically articulates) drum strokes using Japanese sound symbolism. Each syllable conveys information about how the drummer is to play a particular note. Kuchi shōga notation is written in katakana, a syllabary familiar to all literate Japanese language speakers. Kuchi shōga can be transliterated from katakana to a Latin alphabet using one of the various systems of ''rōmaji''. ==Common phoneticizations== Although kuchi shōga does not have a fixed vocabulary, some phoneticizations are ubiquitous. ''Don'' typically means a deep, sustained sound from the center of the taiko. ''Do'' sometimes represents a short beat that is not allowed to resonate (i.e., one with a short decay). ''Doko'', ''dogo'', or ''doro'' means two drum-beats played in rapid succession. ''Tsu'' represents a lightly struck note; ''tsuku'' implies two soft ''tsu'' beats in rapid succession—one on the right side of the drum, the other on the left. ''Ka'' means a sharp tap on the rim of the taiko, and ''kara'' describes alternate right and left taps. Taiko players commonly phoneticize a right-handed bachi stroke with ''don'', ''do'', ''tsu'', or ''ka'', respectively; and a reserve ''kon'', ''ko'', ''ku'', and ''ra'' for left-handed strokes. Two syllables are reserved for strokes on the tsuzumi, a drum that is much smaller than the taiko: ''Ta'' describes a tap on the side of the drum; ''pon'' refers to a stroke on the center of the drumhead. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kuchi shōga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
