抄録

This report is on the concert tour to Keijo(Seoul), Korea, in 1916 of the Japanese pianist OGURA Suyeko(1891-1944), one of the then leading Japanese pianists and of the earliest alumnae of the Music School of Kobe College. It also assesses the role of her German sister-in-low Maria OGURA, who took over her mother's place from her childhood and functioned as a guardian and manager to her total activity, escorting her on every trip and receiving guests and journalists. Concert tours became indispensable to female, as well as male, musicians from the 1820's in Europe. Although the development of railways from 1830's made them more practicable, there remained special difficulties for traveling women musicians, first, heaviness of the piano and the harp, the instruments allotted to women, and the ′common sense′, according to which women should be escorted by men or at least by elder females. Her visit to Keijo was reported in twenty-five articles in the Keijo Nippo, a daily newspaper written in Japanese, from November 30th to December 28th, with six photos in total. These articles tell us that she stayed there for a week from December 16th to 23rd, giving two charity concerts on 19th and 21st and a performance in the Court of the Ri Dynasty on 22nd. The two public concerts were well received and successful with large audiences of about three hundred and seven hundred each, including European people and musicians. It was also unforgettable to Suyeko herself. In addition, the interviews with Suyeko, Maria, and with Mr.Smith, a missionary and a professional singer from Chicago, give us vivid images of her life and career: her father's death when she was five years old; how she became interested in piano when she was a kindergartner; her study in Japan, Berlin and the United States; Maria's worry about Suyeko's marriage in future.
