Performed on a 20-string wire-strung harp handcrafted from Kitayama cedar, this gentle arrangement of the beloved Japanese song Tanabata-sama evokes the quiet beauty of the summer night sky.
The shimmering resonance of the metal strings recalls the Milky Way and the peaceful atmosphere of the Tanabata festival.
May this music bring a moment of calm to your summer.
