寒方按:這是二十世紀初由日本琵琶家永田錦心創作的樂曲。以下節錄英文曲意說明:
The piece tells of a tremendous feat accomplished by the famous 16th-century warrior Akechi Mitsutoshi, who crossed over the large lake known as Lake Biwa while mounted on a horse. The sound of the biwa and its vocal music suffice to bring great emotional power to the narration of the tale.
