Hymn of the Warbler and the Quail
- Dictionary Journey × Kneeking Records -
The warbler that heralds spring,
and the quail hidden among the summer grass.
When their voices intertwine, words become prayer.
"From the depths of calligraphy, gentle birds sing."
The life dwelling in dictionary pages breathes as music.
Inspired by Dictionary Journey through Kojien Vol.7,
from "Ugu" to "Eri," this work sings of shadow and light,
of pain, love, and the quiet flame of hope.
May you feel the prayer that burns in silence.
Kneeking Records / Written by Guwashi
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that translates The Dictionary Journey into sound. The label was founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, a lifelong dictionary traveler, and a former kickboxing world champion. Since 2013, Yoshihiro has been reading dictionaries one page at a time writing, reflecting, and quietly documenting each newly discovered word. In 2025, these accumulated records began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey is an ongoing exploration. With each passing day, new words are encountered, and their traces continue to grow steadily and without end. Kneeking Records spans a wide range of genres, including Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times, Punk Rock. While honoring the natural rhythm of language, the label pursues sound that is both refined and deeply listenable transforming the voice descending from calligraphy into music. That is the sound of Kneeking Records.
