KUKURI

A full-length work that concludes the 20th anniversary of Suzue, the diva of the Shinto priesthood.

Two sides of the same coin
Two opposing worlds intersect and harmonize

The song "KUKURI" is a song that "binds" and bridges the divided modern society

"KUKURI" refers to the goddess Kukurihime, who appears in the Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan), and means "to tie or bind."

The deity Kukurihime appears only once, when spouses Izanagi and Izanami are about to say goodbye to each other in YOMI NO KUNI (Land of Hades).

Opposite things, for example
An existence that connects "light and darkness, yin and yang, male and female, good and evil, life and death, past and future, right and left, public and individual, city and countryside, Japan and overseas, etc."

KUKURI is the very heart of harmony itself. A mysterious power that connects and unites opposites and things that are moving apart.

In today's world, which is becoming excessively divided and polarized, Suzue is celebrating the culmination of her 20th anniversary as a Shinto priestess singer.

Why do priestesses sing?

It is because she wants to convey something to the next generation through music.
Because she has a feeling that she wants others to inherit.
Because there are words she wants to weave.
Because there is a KOTODAMA (mystical words) that she wants to leave behind.

KUKURU (to wrap oneself in something) is also to be prepared for it. This work is a "KUKURU" work that concludes the 20th anniversary of Suzue's activities, sublimating the invisible spiritual world of "KUKURI" in sound, voice and song.
