Dodoitsu (three love songs)
Dodoitsu, a short song form of the late Edo period with lines of seven, seven, seven and five syllables, often about love and usually witty. Here three of them, sung by the baritone Sokichi Kudzuoka for Edison's Japanese series, which the Edison Phonograph Monthly of 1903 lists as 'Dodoitsu. Three Love Songs', accompanied by a 'mandolin-like instrument', the shamisen, as on his Kappore.
