Oshimabushi - Oshimabushi

Japanese: 大島節 - おおしまぶし
Oshimabushi - Oshimabushi

A folk song from Izu Oshima, Tokyo. It is said to have started as a labor song for the tea-rolling people of Nomashi Village (now Oshima Town) in the early Meiji period, and was also called "Nomashi Bushi." This "Nomashi Bushi" incorporated "Ochaba Bushi," a labor song for the re-processing of tea that was sung in Yokohama, to form the current melody. Until 1930 and 1931 (Showa 5 and 6), on Oshima it was "Shima Bushi," sung only to handclaps, but at some point it became a parlor song with the addition of shamisen. In addition to this song, Izu Oshima also has "Anko Bushi" and other songs, which are also played for tourists.

Japanese:

東京都伊豆大島の民謡。明治初期、大島野増(のまし)村(現大島町)の人々が茶もみの労作唄(うた)として歌い出したものだといわれ、『野増節』ともよばれていた。この『野増節』に、横浜市あたりで歌われていた茶の火入れ再製作業の労作唄『お茶場節』が取り入れられ、現在のメロディとなった。1930、31年(昭和5、6)までは大島では手拍子だけで歌う「島ぶし」であったが、いつか三味線の手が入るお座敷唄になった。伊豆大島にはこの唄のほかに『あんこ節』などもあり、観光客にもこれらの唄を聞かせている。
