About 3 years after completing my backpacking trip around Japan (July 4, 2000 to December 31, 2001), I (IAN KOJIMA) met a family of rice farmers in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture. . It was my first time meeting them, but I still remember feeling nostalgic. After that, I visited many times and experienced rice cultivation. The eight works included in this album [TENCHISOSO] were born from real rice farming experiences. I want you to listen to this album without fail, for farmers, people who have farming experience, and people who are interested in farming. Because it makes me feel good and nostalgic.
