Song of the People of Kochi PrefectureKōchi-ken
This work was established in 1952, as Japan moved from the postwar reconstruction period into an era of rapid economic growth.
Powerfully expressing the brightness of the southern climate and the dynamism of the prefecture’s people, the song is more than a ceremonial anthem: it embodies the spirit of the Freedom and People’s Rights Movement, the abundance of the Kuroshio-danced seas, and pride in culture.
Its creation process was highly unique as well—lyrics were solicited from the public, and the composition was chosen by an open vote from five candidate pieces.
Even today, audio and sheet music are available on the prefecture’s official website, and the song is cherished as an important symbol that conveys Kōchi’s history and identity.
