Collected 工工四 (kunkunshi)
I’ll be posting various pieces of kunkunshi in this section. Some of the documents are in PDF format, so you’ll need a reader like Adobe or Foxit. (I recommend Foxit Reader because it’s smaller and faster than Adobe. Plus, it’s free.)
Asadoya Yunta （安里屋ユンタ）
Aha Bushi （安波節）
Bashoufu （芭蕉布）
Tinsagu nu Hana （てぃんさぐぬ花）
Mensoure (めんそーれ)
Donated pieces:
Bangamuri （ばんがむり）
Hounennuuta （豊年ぬ歌）
Kanikubata （かにくばた）
Shima Uta （島唄）
Toushindooi （唐船ドーイ）
Asadoya Yunta - Classic Version (安里屋ゆんたー）
Waido Bushi （ワイド節）
I’ll be continuously writing up kunkunshi to upload here, but in the meanwhile, you can find a good collection of kunkunshi on these sites:
工工四集 (Collection of Kunkunshi)
沖縄三線楽譜一覧 (List of Sanshin Music)
For you curious minds:
- I use Adobe Photoshop to draw the kunkunshi, using an “EPSON-KYOKASHO” font.
- If you would like to help me redraw kunkunshi, you can find the PSD file here.
- The package of fonts can be downloaded off this website. (Running the executable will only unpack the contents into the same directory. To install the fonts you have to drag the .ttf files into your font folder.)
