The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is an instrumental piece inspired by the oldest Japanese story

This music depicts a quiet farewell and an unavoidable destiny
using only western instruments

By reducing sound to its minimum
the piece creates a sense of stillness
where time seems to pause

This is not a retelling but an atmosphere
inviting the listener to imagine their own story
