Sacred mountain - Ryōzenmiyama

Japanese: 霊山深山 - りょうぜんみやま

The title of an Imayo (modern music). It is a song about a wedding, and the lyrics are "Sacred mountain, deep mountain, ya, five-e uma tsu, ya, bamboo leaves, people say, I also see, ya, bamboo leaves, even, orimoteko, mu, neyakazashi, ya, marosasan." The song is based on four lines of 7-5 rhythm, but the third line has a non-rhythmic phrase. Mu and ya-style chanting is inserted here and there. The score is in "Ayanokoji Toshikazu Kyonoki" and "Roei Nine Poems Collection." In the section on Seishodo in "Goyusho," the entry for Emperor Antoku's Juei Year 1 (1182), the song "Sacred mountain, Miyama, Tsurunomurairu, Tsuki no Sayakani" is listed as an Imayo song sung by Ason Suketoki.
