More than a classical piece, this song sounds like one played by a flute in a festival environment. It may indeed have been adapted from folk or festival music. The Kanji characters for Yoshiya are the same as those for the district of Yoshino, known for its connection to the ancient emperor Godaigo, lord of Kusunoki Masakatsu, who was said to be the forefather of the mendicant Komuso (Fuke Zen) priests.
