Through the piano and spontaneous tones of composer Mamiko Hirai, this album delicately portrays the cycle of life and the ethereal world of silk weaving. With the songs of "Requiem", it carries prayers inspired by the hands of artisans, the quiet rhythm of satoyama - the traditional Japanese rural landscapes - and the living breath within silk itself. The restored vintage instruments resonate together, reflecting the shimmer of light and water in the forest, unfolding a landscape rich in spirit and life. It gently dissolves into the heart, offering a moment of dialogue with something vast and eternal. Immerse yourself in these subtle sounds and feel the quiet beauty of nature and craft.
