This is a Min'yo piece from the Min'yo school .

History (from Takahashi Ryozan)
Two different pieces are brought together in this song: an ancient rowing song and an eighteenth-century tale, in which a young man named Saitaro picks a quarrel with a lord and is sentenced to exile on a distant island, where he becomes a fisherman; as he rows he sings this lament. This tune is very popular because of its rhythm and is typical of the Pacific coast.

In Miyagi Prefecture, the fishermen sing a particular type of rhythmical song while sculling their boats and fishing. These songs are called songs for a good haul. The melody given here consists of two songs, Saitara-bushi and Toshima-Jinku, The former was originally sung by a mine worker named Saitaro who changed it into a boat song when he became a fisherman. The latter was a song for a Sake party. The text describes the sceneries of the seashore, the islands of the district, and the life and customs of the local people. The song begins with a prayer to the gods asking for their protection on sea and land.
