Song of the Nation - National Song

Japanese: 思国歌 - くにしのびうた

〘Noun〙 (In ancient times it was "Kunishinohiuta") Songs written in remembrance of one's homeland. Kuninubiuta. ※From the Kojiki (712) "These songs are Kuninoshinohiuta (songs of longing for one's homeland) " [Additional note] The three songs recorded in the Kojiki as songs of longing for one's homeland by Yamato Takeru no Mikoto are considered to be songs by Emperor Keikō in the Shoki. Originally, they were thought to be songs of longing for one's homeland, with the intention of praising "shinobu", but perhaps they were written as "Kokuka" or "Konohana" as songs of longing for one's homeland based on the story.

〘名〙 (上代は「くにしのひうた」) 故郷をしのんで作った歌。くにしぬびうた。※古事記（712）中「此の歌は思国歌(くにしのひうた)ぞ」[補注]古事記に日本武尊(やまとたけるのみこと)の望郷歌として収められている三首の歌は、書紀では景行天皇の歌とされる。本来は「しのぶ」をほめる意と考えて国ぼめの歌と思われるが、物語の上から望郷の歌として「思国歌」「思邦歌」と記されたものか。
