“The red sunset sky” and “the after sunset orange sky.” These phrases might sound familiar. They come from the nursery rhyme “Yuyake Koyake”. This song has been sung for a long time. Its composer, Nakamura Ukō, was once a new teacher here at Dairoku Nippori Elementary School.
Before composing “Yuyake Koyake,” Nakamura Ukō taught at Daini Nippori Elementary School. Later, he transferred to Daisan Nippori Elementary School in Taisho 8, which is 1919. It was during his time at Daisan Nippori that he created this famous song.
So, while “Yuyake Koyake” wasn’t written here at Dairoku Nippori Elementary School, its composer had a connection to the Nippori area. He started his teaching career at Daini Nippori Elementary School.
