Edo love song to Harusame (plum blossoms, bush warblers and love) [Hauta ‘Harusame’].

Hauta ‘Harusame’ is a beautiful song that interweaves the thoughts of an Edo period prostitute with a spring scene. The plum tree is likened to a man and the bush warbler to a woman, and the song expresses the prostitute's wish to one day be free and united with the person she loves. This time, the story was expressed in dance to the accompaniment of Ichikawa Seizan's singing and shamisen.
The song is said to have been written by Shibata Hanamori, a national scholar from the Saga clan, in 1846 at the Maruyama brothel Hikidaya in Nagasaki, while watching the spring rain.
The music is said to have been composed by a Maruyama prostitute.
The teahouse ‘Kagetsu’, which was carved out of part of Hikitaya's garden, still stands today, and in the garden stands the monument to ”Hauta / Monument to the birthplace of Harusame”.
Please take a look at the old-fashioned Japanese sentiment.
