Legendary Song - Densetsuka

Japanese: 伝説歌 - でんせつか
Legendary Song - Densetsuka
A common name for a group of poems that appear in the Manyoshu. There are two types: poems that are themselves part of a legend, such as the poem about the Sakurago legend in Volume 16 of the Manyoshu, and poems that are reminiscent of a legend written by a poet, but it is necessary to distinguish between the two. Among the Manyo poets, Takahashi Mushimaro's four legendary reminiscence poems (the legends of Mizunoe no Ura no Shimako (Urashima Taro), Kamitsubusa no Sue no Tamana, Katsushikanomama no Otome (Mama Tekona), and Unai Otome)

Japanese:
《万葉集》にみえる一群の歌の通称。《万葉集》巻十六の桜児(さくらご)伝説の歌などそれ自体が伝説の一部である歌と,歌人が伝説に触れて発した詠懐の歌との二つのタイプがあるが,両者は区別して考える必要がある。万葉歌人の中でも高橋虫麻呂の伝説詠懐歌4編(水江浦島子(みずのえのうらのしまこ)(浦島太郎),上総末珠名(かみつふさのすえのたまな),勝鹿真間娘子(かつしかのままおとめ)(真間手児名(てこな)),菟原処女(うないおとめ)の伝説。
