Soran Bushi originates from Japan's northernmost island, Hokkaido.
It is a fisherman's song evoking the process of catching herring -
setting the boat out to sea, casting and retrieving the nets, folding
sails, and loading the catch. The abundant lyrics are often improvised
- helping to keep workers awake during several days without sleep. |
