Hello, it is nice to meet you, my name is Hirai. About 10 years ago, I walked from Nihonbashi to Lake Biwa for about a month and a half, and wrote a song about it.
I recorded it with Sumo Jinku.
I hope you will enjoy this poem about a painful but enjoyable journey.
Please listen to it.
In the style of the poem, some parts are compared with the Fifty-three Stages of the Tokaido and Hiroshige.
I read it as "Zasshu-noumi".
In January 2023, I embarked on an eight-day journey on foot from Nihonbashi to Nikko Toshogu Shrine on the Nikko Kaido, National Route 4. I wrote a poem of my memories to the tune of Sumo Jinku. It is a steep but enjoyable journey with a blizzard. Please take your time to listen to the theme of the trip, the leaving blizzard. I have also written a separate song about the work of Edo. Thank you in advance.
