History (Takahashi Yujiro):
| Shinjō town (Yamagata Prefecture) had a flourishing pleasure district called Bambacho. The verses here are from the viewpoint of a man eager to visit his favorite courtesan - and reluctant to leave her before dawn. That mountain's too tall - I can't see Shinjō. I love Shinjō, I hate that mountain. Crossing Mt. Sabane, passing Funagata, I've come to see you in Bambacho. At dawn, the day breaks, the sparrows cry chun chun, the crows cry kaa kaa, the kites in the sky cry hyorohyoro, and the temple fish gong sounds sukopon sukopokoponpon - would you send me home before then? |
