It's said that KIYARI, a song that people sang when they gathered in large groups to carry heavy objects like wood, is derived from OKIBIKI, an event in ISE-JINGU, one of the oldest shrines in Japan. KIYARI extended throughout the entire nation after the Edo period (1603-1868).

At the same time, a certain DOUCHU-KA, songs that were sung during journeys, and another KIYARI which was sung while building Nagoya castle, had spread out to the surrounding area as well.

From old times, this region called UNUMA flourished as a post station of TOUSAN-DOU, a road that went through this region. It kept its prosperity even after it changed to UNUMA-JUKU, a post station of NAKASEN-DOU which was made after TOUSAN-DOU development in the Edo period.

Due to the high volume of foot traffic, KIYARI and MINYOU, or folk songs, were not the only ones. Various songs from other regions were also brought to the area.

It's thought that KIYARI in this region has been developed and passed down with this historical background
