I composed these two songs with the intention of capturing the essence of autumn in ancient Japan, rather than contemporary Japan. Japanese people had a deep spiritual connection to nature, celebrating the beauty of the full moon during special occasions and finding profound meaning in the changing colors of the leaves. These songs reflect the reverence for nature that was integral to the culture of Japan, where it often seemed as though the very soul of the people was entwined with the natural world. Please enjoy these compositions as a glimpse into the delicate and evocative landscape of ancient Japanese autumn.
