Japanese folk songs, arranged by Joji Hirota (vocals, shakuhachi, taiko drums and Japanese percussion) with strings, choir and childrens vocals. Hauntingly beautiful melodies create images of fishermen on Hokkaido, childrens games in Tokyo, farmers planting rice on Honshu and delicate cherry blossoms in spring. 32-page colour booklet with photos and extensive information in English, German, French and Spanish.
