CHANTS DU JAPON 1/est
SONGS OF JAPAN 1/east
Le Chant du Monde, 1988 (?), LDX 74442
The French label Le Chant du Monde released many Folkways albums for the French market but many have still not been reissued as parts of their catalogue or are not available digitally on Folkways Records website.
There are two albums about those songs from Japan : one for the eastern part of the country and the other for the western part.
So the eastern part of Japan is the island of Hokkaido and the eastern part of the island of Honshu including Sado island.
The recordings were made in 1961 for Folkways but I'm not sure about the French release.
All the songs are performed with a small group of shamisen, shakuhachi and percussion players. These songs are folk songs of the Japanese people (fishermen, horse drivers, for but only the lyrics in French are provided with the title and the relevant district.

All the songs are performed with a small group of shamisen, shakuhachi and percussion players. These songs are folk songs of the Japanese people (fishermen, horse drivers, for rice husking etc...) but only the lyrics in French are provided with the titles and the relevant districts (Hokkaido, Yamagata, Miyagi, Iwate, Arita, Tochigi, Gumma, Ibaragi, Saitama, Hakone, Nagano, Sado). All these songs are of the min'yo genre.
Unfortunatley no singers' names were given.
I borrowed this copy from a library and I kept the text in French only not the pictures.
