This I say to you: A dragonette (a rare Japanese poetic genre), in the style of Tatsu Kushibuchi (a now dead 20th century Gumma Prefecture farm wife and poet), sung acapella with triple repetition

The lyrics to this song were written on 25 February 2023. Each of the three verses is what I call a dragonette, a type of Japanese used by Tatsu Kushibuchi, a woman who was already over 80 years old when I first met her 40 years ago. The dragonette consists of five lines like a tanka, but its syllabification is 5-5-6-7-7. I recorded this acapella on 20 March 2023. I edited as a music video on 25 March 2023. It has not been uploaded to any other video sharing service and there are no present plans to do.
