about

“Often on our early morning walks the shell trumpets of fishermen signalled their homecoming from the sea… The sound of the shell trumpets brought wives and children of the fishermen running to the shore… Low bass voices greeted the women and children as the boats drew near… Men, women and children chanted the song of the fisherman, ‘eiyara ye-e-e yotto ko-sho-o-o,’ the rhythm of the chant meeting the rise and fall of the waves. When the heavily burdened net was pulled onto the sand and the silver and blue-scaled fish jumped vigorously inside it, they all shouted with joy. Each of the children received a few fish for his part in the task, and ran off noisily, holding the fish by the tails… The music of the waves washed the shore in appealing song.” – Ayako Ishigaki

This passage stands out as being the most modern text I reference (being published in 1940, though describing an event from decades before) as well as being one of the most vivid in regards to its description of the soundscape. At the same beach early in the morning nowadays, this once common event has practically disappeared entirely, but at least the waves of the Enshunada are still singing their song.
