Mandarin Duck JourneyGorō Kagami & Yufuko Maki
It’s a rare duet song for the matabi genre, isn’t it? And traveling hand in hand—how incredibly romantic.
From the Ise pilgrimage to Miho in Shizuoka, then the Tenryu River—this traces a journey along the Tokaido’s fifty-three stations.
Perhaps it wasn’t all that uncommon for travelers to fall in love at first sight along the road and become husband and wife.
Shima PeninsulaShiho Kamikawa
The Shima Peninsula features a ria coastline with many small inlets and capes.
Because the shoreline is extremely intricate, even Inō Tadataka—the famed cartographer who mapped Japan—is said to have struggled greatly with his surveys there.
In stark contrast to the beautiful scenery, a mournful enka ballad pleading “Don’t leave me” echoes with a heartrending cry, steeped in melancholy.
Shichiri-no-Watashi (Shichiri Ferry Crossing)Sasa Midori
In local-themed songs, post towns often appear, but this song refers to the sea route from Miya-juku (Atsuta Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture) to Kuwana-juku.
The name Shichiri (Seven Ri) comes from the fact that the distance traveled was seven ri.
It’s an enka that conveys a certain loneliness, depicting a solo journey by a woman aboard a boat.
