Poema (translated by John Tedford)
Maeuta: In the spring breeze which blows across the fields of tea, harvested for countless generations, the floating sleeves of the goddess Saohime, spring bearer of Kotobuki ["good fortune"] are like Wakamidori ["young and green"] She shyly shows to public view Hatsumukashi ["first-picked tea"] Penetrating the mists at Aoyama ["green mountain"] is Komatsu no Shiro ["fortress of the little pine"] The village of Aya no Mori ["forest of twilled cloth"], free from nature's harm a thousand years is like the unravaged, ageless Babamukashi ["old woman's tea"] The decorative leaves for the New Year at the shrine of Matsu-no-o will bestow on anyone a longer life like Chiyo no Midori ["green of a thousand generations"] and Nochimukashi ["last-picked tea"] will endure until the twilight of the gods. Glistening in the sunlight is Sono no Ume ["garden plum"] and also Shiraume ["white plum"] so full of color and fragrance. Kawayanagi ["river willow"] is deep-reflected in the waters where the waves of Uji flood into Lake Biwa. The mountain rose shows its first petals and we scent the fragrance of Hanatachibana ["orange tree"] Like an auspicious dream comes drifting the sweet smell of Oritaka ["dream hawk"] and in the talons of Kotaka ["little hawk"] is grasped a branch. In the plentiful shade of the trees of Ichimori ["one forest"] [we see] the hermitage of Kisen ["joyous choice"] the mountain peak in summer and even hear Taki no Oto ["sound of the waterfall"] Atouta: At the edge of Asahi-yama near Kikusui ["chrysanthemum water"] [we find] Usumomiji ["delicate autumn foliage"]. Searching for food at the summit of Mount Takao, the voices of wild geese reach even Mount Kasadori ["taking an umbrella"]. How innumerable and wonderful are the names of teas! Oiraku ["the pleasure of old ago"] puts the heart at ease and Mai-zuru ["dancing crane"] sings in celebration. | よろずよを、 摘むや茶園の春風に、 寿添へて佐保姫の、 齢ひ老いせぬばばむかし。 誰にも年を譲り葉の、 千代の緑の松の尾の、 神代の末のあとむかし。 光を添へて園の梅、 なお白梅の色香にも、 木蔭も多き一森の、 喜撰のいほの夏の峯。 滝の音をも菊水の、 朝日山のは、 薄紅葉、 高尾の峰に雁がねの、 あさる声々笠取の、 かずまんどころ面白や。 心を澄すおいらくは、 祝ひのしろにうたふ舞鶴。 |

Uji is a place situated in the south of Kyoto which produces high quality tea. The text refers to the four seasons of Uji and 22 brand names of good tea. This large scale composition has two large scale instrumental interludes (tegoto) where both insturments show their virtuosity, often in the form of call and response.

This te-goto piece composed by MATSUURA kengyo in hon-chosi tuning, while the te-goto for koto is in the katakumoi tuning and was made by YAEZAKI kengyo. The lyrics were written by TANAKA Kouji of Kyoto. MATSUURA kengyo was a great sangen player in Kyoto in the Bunka-Bunsei eras. YAEZAKI kengyo was a great koto player also from Kyoto who composed many accompaniments to the repertoire of ji-uta. (popular songs accompanied by shamisen that originated in the western part of Japan.) In UJI MEGURI, scenes from Uji (in southeast of Kyoto and famed for its tea) are described. However, the writer's aim was to weave the brand names of good tea into the lyrics rather than telling a consistent story.
