Poem (translated by John Tedford)
| Mount Kamiji, pathway of the gods, unchanged from ancient times [is seen through] the Cyprus branches. The five colored precious stones glitter and shine in the morning sun on the thatched roofs as brilliant as the peak of Mount Asahi [1]. The pure stream of the Isuzu River, also called Mimosuso, flowing by the inner shrine is edged with drying nets near the homes of Uji. We gaze at this sight in the calm and tranquil early days of Spring. At the gate where the sasa [2] grows we can hear the tinkling of sacred bells and the noise of the lion dance coming toward us. [We can see] the Oda bridge linking the inner and outer shrines through the mountains. There we can remember the story of the kagura at the stone door [3]. The fresh morning scenery at the inlet at Futami: pools of water trapped among the rocks full of salty seaweed. TEGOTO The evening scenery at the temple called Sekidera: fireflies in the fields; maidens at play drifting and floating about; overflowing sake cups. [When soon we reach] the gate at Toba the brilliant maples seem to dye the plain hemp garments of the old people a delightful red. The temple at Mount Asakuma: the view is unsurpassed. The white snows of Fuji are clear in the distant skies. [I] Mount "Morning Sun" [2] bamboo grass [3] the dance performed by Ame no Uzume no Mikoto to lure the sun goddess from behind her stone door where she had hid. | かやの御屋根に五色の玉も、光をてらす朝日山。 清き流れの五十鈴川、みもすそがわの干網の、 染めて楽しむ老い人の、あさくまやまの眺めも勝る奥の院、 |

A te-goto piece (two-verse song with an interlude berween the verses) of Ji-uta singing composed by KIKUOKA kengyo of Kyoto with koto accompaniment by YAEZAKI kengyo. KIKUOKA kengyo was a great master of the shamisen who was active from the Bunka to Tenpou Eras, a rime close to the end of the Edo regime. The results of this co-operation with koto master KIKUOKA kengyo, both in composirion and the actual playing, have been highly appreciated. MIYAMA JISHI is one of many shishi-mai (dance of lion) pieces popular in sokyoku, and this piece is supposed to be based on one found in Ise-kagura-shishi-mai. This is a good example of the fact that various shishimai in the folk tradition, including "ECHIGO JISHI," influenced classical music in Japan.
