Description:
Originally, there was a song called "Hakatabushi," which became popular. However, as door-to-door entertainers began to sing it, it came to be derogatorily referred to as "Kojikibushi" (beggar's song). In response, a new song was created during the Taishō period (1912-1926), known as "Seichō Hakatabushi.” "Seichō" means “formal” or “authentic,” but personally, I feel it would be more appropriate to call it “Shin (new) Hakatabushi” out of respect for the preceding song. The melody is based on the short song "Tengu-sama" from Shimonoseki, and the lyrics share some common parts with Hakatabushi.
