Yumiyawata

弓八幡

[ジャンル]箏曲

発祥 (柘植 元一):

Yumiyawata is a short congratulatory piece often performed by beginners of the Yamada School koto. Its text is taken almost intact from a short section of the noh play, Yumiyawata, which praises the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman. Yumiyawata, literally meaning 'Bow-arrow-banner,' is an alternative name of Hachiman. 'The Great Hachiman' in this song actually refers to the deity which is worshipped at the Iwashimizu-Hachiman Shrine on Mt. Otoko in the suburbs of Kyoto.

詩 (【翻訳者】 柘植 元一)

Over the Peak of Doves on Mt. Otoko
Branches of the venerable pine trees
Intertwine in peace.
Here is worshipped
The Great Hachiman,
Protector of our
Unclouded realm.
Into the light
Of his radiant mercy
We come to pray
For an everlasting reign.
We advance with humility
Into his glorious presence
We advance with humility
Into his glorious presence.
