This tune was composed by Kazuko Chikushi at the end of 1945, based on the Japanese poems by Takeko Kujo. It is said that Kazuko Chikushi, who had sympathy with these Waka poems of Takeko Kujo as a female, couldn't help shedding tears, while she was composing it. This tune is filled with the notes that express the pure heartedness, agony and yearning hidden in the female's mind. (Katsuya Yokoyama)
