#MeetArtist Itaru Okano – Reading performance of Kenji Miyazawa “Yamanashi”

The online reading performance series “Kotoba no Keshiki (Wordscape)” by Mr. Itaru Okano, the director of the performance group “Karada no Keshiki”, tells “stories” and “music”. This time, “Yamanashi” from the works of Japanese writer Kenji Miyazawa. Please enjoy the beautiful world of short story by Japanese authors, accompanied by music.

★Message from the artist★

This is a reading of Kenji Miyazawa’s “Yamanashi”. You can enjoy it with a brief commentary. The music is wonderful. This is a gem of a piece that was created through careful discussions and a new process of composition. It sometimes accompanies Kenji’s mental image and sometimes leaves it, creating an inexplicable harmony. I hope you will enjoy this collaboration between pianist Matsuda and guitarist Mabuchi, which has reached its mature stage!
