Play ButtonBeyond Time And Space 尺八 : 古賀将之
Cow herding song

The song is one of the most popular Japanese folk songs such as "Hietsuki-Bushi " and "Esashi Oiwake". Nanbu a place now called Iwate-prefecture, is mountainous region of northern Japan. It used to be a farmers' song. It is said that in those days when they plowed the soil by oxen and horses, they sang the song. It is a very melancholy song.

In Iwate, near the eastern end of the Japanese mainland, this tune is sung by the people when they drive their cattle to pasture. The sound of the shakuhachi conveys the effect of pastoral scenery in a peaceful farming village.
Play ButtonMin'yo - Folk Song from Japan - Takahashi Yujiro and friends
This "Nambu Oxherd Song" from the north was sung while leading oxen carrying rice from the mountains to the sea, then bringing back salt and fish. Singing would soothe the oxen, as well as keeping away bears, boars and boredom.
Here Yujiro is accompanied by the sound of his whip and by shouts to the cattle. Verse 1 has a pun on the word ki meaning both "spirit, will" and "tree"; such puns, frequent in all Japanese poetry, defy translation.

My cattle, I know it's hard for you now, but the spirit/tree of perseverance
will bear the fruit of wealth.
Ekari and Kuzumaki are the home towns of the oxherds:
we always set out in spring and return in autumn.
(spoken:) Why does this ox just keep eating grass all the time? Com on, get moving faster!
