Mother's "Fucho" : A Study of Incomprehensible Message "○△□" Found in Shun-chu and Shun-chu Gokoku

Abstract

The incomprehensible message "○△□" appears twice in Shun-chii and Shun-chu Gokoku, and it has been interpreted in various diverse ways because it is an extremely important episode. My hypothesis is that "○△□" was formed from Kyoka's experience of "Yokyoku" and was mediated and raised by the shapes called "Fucho" which appeared in a music book for Okawa left for him by his mother.
