[New Age] V.A Journey to the East Koto (Full)

V.A Journey to the East Koto (Various Artists) At every corner of the quiet streets of the old capital, you can feel the history and harmony with nature. Here we present ten scenes, traveling through the ancient capital of Japan. Take a tour of the main street and you will find yourself in Gion, where the maikos (geisha apprentice) walk in Japanese-style hairstyles with their kimonos and long Obi belts. You will hear shamisen music from the dance classes in geishas houses. This is indeed a timeless city. On the west side of the city, there is a Karesansui (dry landscape) rock garden, which offers a cosmic view of the universe depicted in sand and stone. People can be quiet enjoying the festival of the full moon, appreciating the reflection of the moon over the pond. You can witness the traditional Japanese spirit of Wabi, Sabi everywhere. At night, in the lighted garden of Kodaiji, one looks up at the green bamboo forest, and listens to the Koto music playing from afar. The same music that has healed the mind of Hideyoshi's wife Nene, praying for the soul of her late husband. The restored brightly colored door in the vast square of the Heijo-kyo palace was a place where the ancient emperors gave their people a happy new year, where the men and women meet every year to celebrate the Utagaki festival. Right there today, one can feel the energy of people walking up and down on Main Street Suzaku, and the elegant sounds of hichiriki and flutes. Kyoto The beautiful and beautiful old capital of Japan has been forged with history, and the ten songs that the breezes carry through the ancient city move in the rough spirit and soul. Pacific Moon.
