История (Tsuge Gen'ichi):

This piece was originally composed by Kikuoka Kengyo of Kyoto in the jiuta style, that is, as a song accompanied by a shamisen with an extensive interlude called tegoto. Later it was arranged into an ensemble piece for koto and shamisen by Yaezaki Kengyo (1766?-1848), the famous koto virtuoso of Kyoto.

Kajimakura literally means 'rudder-pillow,' which actually implies 'asleep on a boat trip,' and the song expresses the yearning of a riverboat courtesan for a young man who might disregard her background and see the innocence and purity of her heart.

Поэма (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)

The dipping oars
Raise clouds of spray
Across the waters.
Firm in their stand,
The bamboo reeds
Make me sad
Through the sleepless nights
On this river boat.

Night after night
My thoughts torment me.
Is it the waves,
My tears,
Or the dew dripping
Through the grass roof,
That soaks my sleeves
Bound up in sorrow?
I drift here and there
To drown my sadness,
With a rudder
As my pillow.

However far
My travel takes me,
Let the final destination
Be the foot of a pine tree
Along the shore.
A firm pledge of love
Is all I ask,
All I ask of you.

I place my heart
In your hands.

Hold it there
Forever and ever.

Kaji Makura "A Rudder for My Pillow" is one of the finest examples of the kyofu tegoto mono, a sub-genre of sankyoku that reached its peak of development under Kengyo Kikuoka (1792-1847). The form is typical of tegoto mono: two vocal sections, called the mae uta and ato uta, are separated by an instrumental interlude called the tegoto. These song sections are further broken by short interludes called ai no te. Also typical is the addition by another composer, Kengyo Yaezaki (1776-1848) in this case, of a koto tetsuke much in the same manner as the shakuhachi kaede above. The middle tegoto instrumental section of "A Rudder for My Pillow" is atypically divided further into two dan or "steps," a form borrowed from an older koto genre called dan mono. These dan have an equal number of beats and can be played simultaneously to create another layer of polyphony. The melismatic singing style and text content is typical of the tegoto mono and jiuta in general. In Kaji Makura, a courtesan, her life drifting like the boat upon which she works, longs for a man who will forget her unseemly past and love her for her pure heart.
