Travel Song - Kiryoka

Japanese: 羈旅歌 - きりょか
Travel Song - Kiryoka
A poem with various emotions inspired by travel as its theme. The character 'jing' (jing) means travel or lodging, and the word 'jing trip' appears in Chinese classics such as the 'Zhou Li' and 'Chu Ci', but in China the term 'jing trip' is mainly used as a classification term for poetry. In Japan, the term 'jing trip' is first used in the 'Manyoshu', where it is mainly poems that describe the scenery of the travel destination, hometown, and feelings towards family members. Major works include the eight 'jing trip poems' by Kakinomoto no Hitomaro and Takechi no Kurohito in Volume 3. It also appears as a category name in Volumes 7 and 12, but it is only used as a subcategory name of major categories such as 'zouka' (miscellaneous poems) and 'somon' (soul-related poems), which shows that travel poems are not yet considered an independent category.

Japanese:
旅に触発された種々の感情を主題とする歌。羈(羇)は旅,旅やどりを意味し,羈旅という語は《周礼》《楚辞》などの漢籍にも見えるが,中国では詩の分類用語としてはおもに〈行旅〉の語を用いる。日本で羈旅歌の名称が最初に登場するのは《万葉集》で,旅先の地の景観や家郷,家人への思いを述べた歌を主とし,主要な作品として巻三の柿本人麻呂,高市黒人(たけちのくろひと)の羈旅歌8首などがある。また巻七,十二では部類名としても見えているが,雑歌(ぞうか),相聞(そうもん)などの主要な部立の下位分類名として用いられているにすぎず,旅の歌がいまだ独立の部門と意識されていないことを示している。
