Play ButtonMusic of Japan Voice : Strings Emanon
This is a song for children played by string orchestra. It was composed by Shimpei Nakayama (See above) and is not of folk origin. However, the composer who was trained with techniques of Western music but was deeply versed in Japanese folk music made it up so as to sound very much like a folk-song for children.
