Soran Bushi - Soran Bushi

Japanese: ソーラン節 - そーらんぶし
Soran Bushi - Soran Bushi

This is a folk song from the Sea of ​​Japan coast of Hokkaido. It has been sung by the "yanshu" herring fishermen of the region as a work song for the offshore work of scooping up herring caught in a frame net with a large dip net about three shaku (about 90 cm) in diameter and about one jo (about 3 m) in length, using three or four people. The origin of this song is the "Kiyari" (cargo-raising woodworkers) on the coast of the former Nanbu domain of Aomori Prefecture. It was used for sandfish fishing, and in 1850 (Kaei 3), when Sato Izaemon brought the set net fishing method used for sandfish fishing to the herring fishing grounds of Utasutsu (Suttsu town, Hokkaido) and Isoya (Rankoshi town, Hokkaido), this song was also introduced and began to be used for the offshore work. When "Soran Bushi" was accompanied by Sapporo's Kozan Imai around 1935 (Showa 10), it became a song that represents Hokkaido.

Japanese:

北海道の日本海沿岸部の民謡。同地方でニシン漁に従事する「ヤン衆」たちによって、枠網の中に入ったニシンを、直径三尺(約90センチメートル)ほど、柄の長さ一丈(約3メートル)余りの大たも網を3、4人で用いてすくいあげるおりの沖揚げ作業の仕事唄(うた)として歌われてきたもの。その源流は、青森県旧南部領沿岸部の「荷上げ木遣(きやり)」である。それがハタハタ漁などに用いられているうち、1850年(嘉永3)佐藤伊三右衛門が、ハタハタ漁に使用する建網(たてあみ)漁法を歌棄(うたすつ)(北海道寿都(すっつ)町)や磯谷(いそや)(北海道蘭越(らんこし)町)のニシン漁場へ持ち込んだとき、この唄もともに伝えられ、沖揚げ作業に用いられるようになった。その『ソーラン節』が1935年(昭和10)ごろ札幌の今井篁山(こうざん)によって伴奏がつけられると、北海道を代表する唄になった。
