What is a Negoro lullaby?
This lullaby has spread from the latter half of the Edo period, when Negoroji's immovable beliefs were popular, to the Kinokawasuji area centered on Negoroji, and to the Arita region in the south, and has been sung for 400 years. ..
It incorporates local features and scenery, and features emotionally rich lyrics.
Negoroji Temple begins when Kakuban moved the Denpoin from Mt. Koya to Negoro. The people of the Daidenhoin moved to the land of origin and made the town huge. During the Muromachi and Sengoku eras, lacquer ware and blacksmith craftsmen gathered to support their lives, and guns and armor were also manufactured.
In 1585, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Kishu, Negoroji was destroyed by fire. Reconstruction was not allowed for a while after that, but in the Edo period, it was reconstructed under the protection of the Kishu Tokugawa family. The area around Negoroji Temple became a rural area, and Nishisakamoto, a town in front of the gate, prospered by many worshipers.
This lullaby has passed down the history of the town and has been sung without being forgotten.
