This is a Koten piece from the Myoan Shinpo Ryű school .

History (from Tokuyama Takashi)
This piece comes from a sub-group of the Kyoto temple of Meianji , which is called Meian Shinpo-ryu. Works such as Iyo-renbo were often adapted from folk melodies or festival songs, as opposed to more traditional court music. The Meian Shinpo-ryu music is characterized by a constant tempo that departs from the traditional honkyoku music that relies solely on the breath to determine rhythm.

Iyo Renbo appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Aki no Yugure (Autumn Dusk)  (Listen)
Hi Kyoku  (Listen)	Tokuyama Takashi
