Hikkengyo (Hopping on One Foot)」「Most of the parts of the human body are paired. For example, we have a pair of eyes, a pair of arms, etc. There is an old belief among the Japanese that a person with only one eye, one arm, etc. has some special talent given him or her by the gods. And such a person is usually regarded with fear or awe.」「Japanese children have thought of various games based on this belief. For example, they often compete to see how long they can keep standing on one foot, or keep one eye closed, etc.」「As the sun sets and children make their way home，they love to compete with one another, as their last game of the day, by hopping on one foot as long as they can while singing the song they call "Hikkengyo". Since the words of this song are mere repetition, they try to sing it faster and faster so that they can exclude those who cannot keep up and so become the winner by hopping until the last. The winner of this game is regarded to be the possessor of some superhuman ability.」「The song was sung by primary school children in Saga City, Saga Prefecture, while they were actually hopping on one foot. Hikkengyo, by the way, is a corrupt form of a word meaning "hopping on one foot" Saga, where this song was recorded, is a large castle town situated in the northern part of Japan's southernmost major island of Kyushu, which is situated west of Honshu.」「The words of this song go : "Where shall we set the goal of our hopping contest? Let's set it at the gate of the doctor's house." Since the children can set just anything they like as their」、二十三頁に「goal, the words of their song naturally differ each time it is used.」「Because Saga is a very conservative city, and many of the old，naive children's games are still played there, this song is fairly popular among them today.」と記載。
