Akira Mitake, who played keyboards and violin in Ippudo, produced this original soundtrack for the NHK program "Japan: Its Heart and Form," which summarized the history of Japanese art.
This album was recorded with a different approach from his musical style as a band member and the song he wrote for Misora Hibari, "Like the Flow of a River." It is a masterpiece of Japanese ambient/new age music, with all the tracks composed, arranged and performed by him!
