This sad lullaby reflects nostalgic thoughts of young girls employed as baby-sitters. Itsuki is a small town in Kumamoto, Kyushu, where many prisoners from Korea were held after the war during the last half of the 16th century. The words say "I'm a beggar. You are rich, with obi and rich kimono. Who will weep if I'm beaten to death but the cicadas on the pines. No, not the cicadas, but my young sister who would cry for me."

This, too, is a song of the composer's hometown. It is a lullaby of poor people living in the heart of the mountains. The melody of the first half is played by a low-pitched shakuhachi and the latter half with the instrument pitched an octave higher.

Many variants of this lullaby existed around Itsuki village in Kyushu, in a loose duple or free rhythm. At some unknown point early in the 20th century, this version arose, with its Western-influenced triple meter. I'll only be here 'til Bon; if Bon comes early, I'll go home early. I'm just a beggar; these are goodly folk, with nice obi waist-sashes and nice kimono. If I should die, bury me by the roadside; offerings or water will come from the heavens. (If I should die, who would cry for me? Only the locusts in those pine mountains.) Copyright 1999 - Dr David W. Hughes e-mail dh6@soas.ac.uk

Itsugi Village where this song was born is situated in the mountains far up the River Kawabegawa. It requires one and a half hours to reach there by bus from Hitoyoshi in Kumamoto Prefecture. It is said that refugees of the Heike Clan came to hide in this village after they were defeated at Danno-Ura Bay. In the poor mountain village, a baby's nurse was always ill-treated by her employer. So, she wove her sorrows in the song to sing to the world.
