Bodaishi

Located in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, the so-called "Sendai Daikannon" is 100 meters high and has over 100 Buddha statues enshrined inside. I took the elevator to the top and slowly descended the spiral staircase while recording. The image that came to me while walking in Kannon's womb was created into a sound image. Footsteps and the voices of several visitors transform into a unique sound that echoes. A quiet emotional piano, relaxing strings, orin, rotating stones, rolling sounds, and looping noises.

"Senjojiki" is a rugged coast located in the western part of Aomori Prefecture. Due to the nature of Aomori, it is a lonely and windy famous place. Recorded before dawn when the wind was strong. An ominous piano, strings drifting low and thin, the strength of the wind, the sound of flipping through old books, crows chirping, bells chiming, record noise, and looping noises, nembutsu song (A song that is sung to bring the dead to Buddhahood, a custom only found in my area). Soundscape that expresses the space between this world and the next world.
