After returning to Europe, he published piano arrangements of this song and five others in 1894. Ten more songs appeared in a second songbook published in 1895. "Matsuri-Bayashi" celebrates the popular legend of an eighth-century girl, Tekona, who lived in the city of Mama, now part of Tokyo. Her beauty was the cause of so much violence and tragedy that she drowned herself in despair. A shrine to the memory of Tekona is the subject of a famous print by Hiroshige, and today you can visit the Tekona shrine in Tokyo at 4-6 Mama Ichikawa-shi, 272-0826 Chiba Prefecture Source / Web : | http://www.daisyfield.com/music/ | | |||
