抄録	Folk songs are the soul of a nation as they allow one to peep through the region's culture and facilitate the emotional understanding of a state. Folk songs are found in the rural areas in their authentic form, and the rural folk of the nation primarily fosters seasonal folk songs. This paper attempts an ethnomusicological study of seasonal folk songs of Maithili and Japanese language and finds the themes and metaphors that enrich the fabric of folk songs. Mithila, a region in the Indian state of Bihar, is renowned for its rich heritage of folk songs that the natives sing during different seasons. The tradition includes "chaumasa," which represents songs from the four major months. Similarly, Japan boasts a celebrated tradition of folk songs, which are classified into various categories, including those characteristics of the seasons, such as the "Shiki no Uta" or songs of the four seasons. This paper attempts to analyse the seasonal motifs and beliefs of the two distinct cultures from an ethnomusicological perspective. A few selected seasonal folk songs from both languages will be compared to bring out possible differences and similarities between the two geographically distained regions.
