Koto - Music of the One-String Ichigenkin
Botan, was composed by Issui Yamashiro in 1962, around Saien Hanazaki's translation of a Sung poem.

The robe with the phoenix- gold brocade is hanging still
And in the garden the peony blooms,
Still wet with last night's rain.

Sitting before her mirror,
She sees again her fresh loveliness-
With her hair rising gently over her fragile face.

Now, going out to the bridge
And leaning over the rail,
She finds herself overcome with longing.

Green are the willows under the bridge,
But will her yearning bring him back again?
While above the banks the swallows fly.
