Man has come to have a special regard for the ship, which carries people and cargo over the waters of oceans, rivers and lakes that man cannot cross on foot, and which has become the image of the vessel that transports souls from this world to the next. With “on the boat” and “conveying” as keywords, this recital hopes to open new territory for music featuring the koto, sangen, 17-stringed Koto and shakuhachi.
