Many classical works for two shakuhachi involve one part being echoed or "pursued' by the other. The parts are exquisitely timed and incorporate an improvisational aspect. When writing music for Japanese instruments, I am always careful not to loose touch of the distinctive ‘flavors.' Lying at the foundation of this piece is the word ‘concorede.' The piece ends with a single note, however, the process leading to that final tone is never a rivalry, but always a kind of harmonized cooperation. The concept for the work stemmed from its initial performance by brothers, Retsuzan and Shozan Tanabe. Commissioned in 1990, the piece was debuted at Tokyo's Tsuda Hall in November of that year. It's title refers to two plants, one being a turmeric, and the other a kind of oak.
