Play ButtonFlower Dance - Japanese Folk Melodies
The folk song in Kiso, in the central part of Japan. It is about Ontake mountain, which the travelers had to climb to reach other parts of the country. After a better road was built to link the eastern with the western region of Japan, Kiso bushi was adopted into Bon-dance music to accompany the July Bon festivals.

In the middle part of the Japanese mainland there are the beautiful wooded Kiso Mountains. To all people who live in that district this tune is like a theme song. The music starts with a free arpeggio of koto. Next shakuhachi plays a melody which reminds us of a quiet heart of mountains. Then koto and seventeen-stringed koto change into a delightful melody that symbolizes the beginning of day.

This is a folk song of the Kiso mountain district in Nagano prefecture northeast of Nagoya. It was a song for a Sake party and called, Nakanori-san. Later, at the end of the Meiji Era, a Bon-dance was devised for the song and the name was changed to Kisobushi which became popular throughout Japan. Bon or Urabon as previously mentioned is an old Buddhist festival held in the summer throughout the country to call upon the spirits of the dead. In town and country people gather to the dance festival in which they enjoy the Bon dance of their own district.

Nakanori-san, the older name of the piece, means raftsman and appears again and again in each stanza. The first stanza is as follows.

Raftsmen of Kiso
That great peak in Kiso
Is freezing even in summer
We wish we could give it
Some warm clothing
And warm stockings, too.

The song is accompanied by the Shamisen tuned in Honchoshi and the Taiko. It is composed in the Yo-mode.
