Woodworking - Kiyari

Japanese: 木遣り - きやり

A type of Japanese folk song. An abbreviation of "Kiyari-uta." Originally it was a labor song sung when a large group of people carried timber for construction, such as sacred trees for shrine construction, but it also includes songs sung when carrying other building materials, construction work such as pounding earth, and pulling festival floats. It is in the ondo style, with a slow tempo, and includes a dialogue between the leader's solo and the large group singing in unison. It is sometimes sung as a celebratory song rather than a work song, and has also been made into a shamisen song.

Japanese:

日本民謡の一種。〈木遣歌〉の略。本来は神社造営の神木などの建築用木材をおおぜいで運ぶときの労作歌だが，その他の建築資材を運ぶとき，土突きなどの建築工事や祭の山車(だし)を引くときなどの歌も含まれる。音頭取りの独唱とおおぜいの人の斉唱が掛合いで入る音頭形式で，テンポがおそい。仕事歌としてより祝儀歌として歌われることもあり，三味線歌にもなっている。
