Many Japanese songs are rife with metaphors, nuances and hidden meanings - much like Hawaiian songs. Hawaiians called this form of artistic expression 'kaona." Amongst other things, "oiwake" could mean "countryside" or a heavily embellished musical style derived from a famous "Oxen Driving Song" that originated in the southern part of Honshu - a style later attributed to a famous folk song from Hokkaido - Esashi (an Ainu word meaning kelp) Oiwake. We leave it to the listener to decide... This M. Yoneyama and F. Ozawa composition is performed by Alma Shimabukuro. | ||
