Miyagi Nagamochi Uta
宮城長持唄
| [Genre] | Min'yo |
| [School] | Min'yo |
History (Takahashi Yujiro):
| Village girls generally married into nearby villages, rarely returning home, just like nursemaids. A procession of men would carry the trousseau in heavy boxes (the nagamochi of the title), and the porters would sing standard songs describing the developments and mixed emotions of the day. Today is a good day, with good weather, for tying [two people/families] together in a bond. Don't miss your home village, daughter: it was only a temporary lodging. (This daughter we raised, beautiful as a flower or a butterfly, today passes into another's hands.) |
