This is an arrangement for koto, shamisen and a small orchestra of Western instruments from a popular song under the same title. The original song of this piece was a popular song named Hakone- bushi which prevailed about at the middle of the 18th century. It was so popular that many different words was put to its melody. "O-Edo Nihonbashi" is the most popular today among them, but not a few different poems are still sung today to the same or slightly changed melody. "Edo" is the old name for Tokyo. Nihonbashi is a famous bridge in the centre of Edo and is the starting-point all the roads radiating for countries. The picture, painted by Hiroshige, a famous ukiyoe painter, shows the concourse at the Nihonbashi in the morning. It was a custom in Edo Period (1600c-1870c) that travellers leaving Edo started from this bridge just after the sun- rise. | ||
