Kyo no Shiki 京の四希 Part 1

Maiko Kimika and Miyoharu of Miyagawacho dance to the first part of Kyo no Shiki. Please see part 2 in my other videos, completed by geiko Ichisayo, Ichiume and Ichigiku. From the Ozashiki Asobi DVD Set. Lyrics: "The flowers of spring can now 春は花 いざ be seen on Higashiyama. 見にごんせ 東山 The color and scent; their loveliness competes. 色香競う The cherry trees at evening, 夜桜や Everyone is making merry 浮かれ 浮かれて The sensitive and the boorish too are faithful 粋も無粋も ものがたい Carrying two swords gently, 二本差しても柔こう Enjoying Gion's tofu at Nikenchaya. 祇園豆腐の二軒茶屋 Purified in a ritual, みそぎぞ Going along the dry river bed in summer, 夏は うち連れて And meeting in the cool of the evening 河原に集う夕涼み Yoi Yoi Yoi Yoi Yoi Yasaa ヨイヨイヨイヨイ ヨイヤサー
