This hariko is based on an old folk song of Waga District in Iwate Prefecture. This lively song, which has many call-and-response parts, is traditionally danced to and sung during  celebrations.

Rabbit, rabbit, little rabbit,
My my! Your ears are long!
Soreba sasa!
Since my parents, grandparents’ days,
You’ve mimicked bamboo leaves.
That’s why your ears are so long!
Choi sasa! Choi sasa!
