Yamaga Bird and Insect Song - Sankachouuka

Japanese: 山家鳥虫歌 - さんかちょうちゅうか

A collection of folk songs from the mid-Edo period. It consists of two volumes. The first volume contains 210 folk songs from the Goki, Tokai, and Tosando regions, while the second volume contains 184 folk songs from other regions. Since it has a preface dated 1771, it is likely to have collected songs from various provinces up to the mid-Edo period. At first, it was believed that the preface added by Ryutei Tanehiko stated that Bon Odori songs from all over the country were collected by imperial decree of Emperor Gomizunoo, but of course it is impossible for folk songs from that time to be collected by imperial decree. The lyrics are generally in the "7-7-7-5" style, which is early modern, and in addition to dance songs, it is thought that celebratory songs and various labor songs are mixed in.

Japanese:

江戸時代中期の民謡集。上下2冊。上巻には 210首の五畿，東海，東山道地方の民謡が収められ，下巻はそれ以外の地方の民謡 184首を収載している。明和8 (1771) 年の序をもつところから，江戸時代中期あたりまでの諸国の歌が集められたものであろう。当初は，後水尾院の勅旨によって全国の盆踊り歌が集められたという柳亭種彦の添えた序文が信じられていたが，もちろん当時の民謡が勅旨によって収集されることなどはありえない。詞型もおおむね「七・七・七・五」型で近世調であり，踊り歌のほかに，祝賀歌や種々の労作歌が混入していると考えられる。
