Kinda off corner. The statue is less crispy and maintained than other statues I've seen in Japan. Those illiterate to Japanese should bring out their favorite camera translation app. In the front, it's just a poem. You aren't missing anything if you miss this though.

Oppekepe♪ The sound of the body losing its strength. Oppekepe-bushi is said to be the oldest singing voice in Japan. You can listen to it on youtube. Fukuoka City's Kawabata Shopping District should do more to promote Otojiro Kawakami and Oppekepebushi.

Known for Oppekepe Bushi Statue of Otojiro Kawakami. Born in Tsushima Koji, Moved to Tokyo and toured Europe and America. A statue of Otojiro, who was active with his wife Sadakko, Located diagonally across the street from Hakataza. It seems like he's watching over me.

It's hard to notice because it's near the entrance to Kawabata Shopping District. In the past, this shopping district used to sell a variety of items at bargain prices near the end of the year. Hakata people were looking forward to this season. Much has changed now. Otojiro Kawakami was born in Tsushima Koji in the early Meiji period. A comedian representing Hakata.
