KUROKAMI - 'Black Hair'

Today I was honoured to be invited to Full Leaves Nana Flower KUROKAMI.
KUROKAMI, which literally translates to "Black Hair" is a dance performed by all senior MAIKO during their SAKKO period and before their ERIKAE, (before they become GEIKO).

The KUROKAMI-DANCE lyrics goes something like this:

It is the pillow
We shared that night,
When I let down
My jet-black hair.
That is the cause of my lament
When I sleep alone
With my single robe
To cover me.
'You are mine,' he said,

Not knowing the heart
Of a simple girl.
The voice of a temple bell,
Sounds into the quiet night.

Awakening from an empty dream
In the morning,
How lovely, sweet,
And helpless is my longing.
Before I know it
The silver snow has piled up.
