Japanese: 北沢勾当 - きたざわこうとう
Kitazawa Koto

...In a broader sense, it is a common or general term for all Japanese music that incorporates instrumental melodies that depict the cloth sarashi of the original jiuta shamisen music, or dance music that accompanies the choreography of cloth sarashi. (1) Jiuta and Koto music Before the Jokyo era (1684-88), Kitazawa Koto linked together short short songs that sang about cloth sarashi on the Uji River and included an interlude to create a long song, which he called "Kosarashi." In response to this, Fukakusa Kengyo developed the instrumental nature of the interlude and called it "Shin-sarashi," but later the term "sarashi" came to refer simply to these Fukakusa tegotomono or the koto music version of them. ...
