"I(I.e.A wandering child..." "Are you going to Imazu or Nagahama today?"
The "Song of the Lake Biwa Circumnavigation," an emotional song about impressionable youth and the romance of the circumnavigation, is a classic song beloved by the nation. The song was born in Imazu-cho, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. The song was written in 6 by students from the Water Club of the former Third High School in Kyoto (now the Kyoto University Rowing Club) while they were sailing around Lake Biwa by boat. The museum has a wide range of materials on display, including information about the lyricist and composer, and also has a listening corner where you can listen to the song of the Lake Biwa Circumnavigation by many singers and musicians.
