Geschichte:
| The title refers to waterfowl known as Oystercatchers that live along the shores of the Sumida River in Tokyo. A somewhat shorter piece than most Nagauta, Miyako Dori invokes a geisha's boat ride along the river as she holds a letter from her lover, remembering their time together. In the water she sees her own reflection. This song was written by Katsusaburo Kineya, Hyouji Hoshizumi, and Rokuzaemon Kineya. |
