"Onko Chishin" is an ancient Japanese concept that means "to learn from the past in order to create the new."
Rather than mere nostalgia, the song explores a deeper truth: the past is not a weight, but a flame.
A flame that lights the way forward.
"Not to repeat-but to transcend."
"Not to return-but to ascend."
With richly layered lyrics and a majestic soundscape, this piece bridges time-honoring ancient wisdom while boldly shaping tomorrow.
A hymn for seekers, for builders, for anyone standing on the shoulders of giants and daring to reach beyond.
