Koto : Yoshimura Nanae | |
|
Kamu-Ogi-Guoto, by Somei Sato, travels back to the ancient world of Japan’s mythological age, when the koto was used as a medium of communication with the gods. It was written with the sincere wish that the ancient gods would deign to dwell in this modern incarnation of this instrument.

Koto : Yoshimura Nanae |
|
Koto has the oldest origin in the Asian instruments. It appears "forbidden" in "explanatory sentence"; "forbidden" meant sacred places to worship god. Koto is also the instrument inviting god. In Kojiki, there is a description that the Empress Shinko became a shrine maiden and the Emperor Chuai played the koto to return god in our country, too. This 20-stringed koto, the new style, prizes old gods, so I hope its sounds will be more colorful (from the program of the first performance in 1989, Sep.) Kamu-Ogi-Guoto was composed for Nanae Yoshimura's recital last year. I was little worried about the new style instrument, 20-stringed koto, but I was able to get many suggestions by Yoshimura's spiritual centripetal performance. For this recital, I added and cut some parts to clear Yoshimura's beautiful consciousness. | ||
