‘Tapestry: Koto’ is a 3-album series produced by Nippon Columbia in the mid-1970s dedicated to one of the main instruments of Japanese traditional music: Koto. The beauty of the trilogy curated by composer Kiyoshi Yamaya, whose chapters are respectively dedicated to Sea, Hillside and Country, lies in the fact that they are a modern translation of tradition using newer and more avant-garde sound idioms, integrating the koto with jazz musicians. An original mix, a ‘crossover’ that allows for the awakening and the consequential spread of traditional music in larger contexts.
The extreme accuracy of the marvellous recordings is also remarkable.
Original masters licensed by Nippon Columbia for the first ever reissue. Includes OBI and insert.
