Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune | |

This piece was written to be the opening number for a modern dance performance by Keiko Fujii. Yamato is the word for ancient Japan. For most of the piece, the koto players use a pizzicato technique, plucking the strings with fingers instead of the "tsume" finger picks, which gives the koto a mellow harp-like sound to go with the deep sound of the 24 "bass" shakuhachi. A five-tone Japanese scale is used.
