This is an old popular song composed at the end of Edo period. It was derived from a type of folk song named kiyari. It is a kind of labor song sung at construction works, for instance, when a number of laborers work together to move weighty things. As the work is quite heavy, the original song is very, very slow. But, when it was taken up as a popular song, it was modified into a moderate tempo so as to fit shamisen accompaniment. It is still now one of the popular pieces of hauta, a genre of traditional popular song.
