I composed this for koto and 17-string koto commissioned for the 17-string koto recital of Ms. Teiko Kikuchi. Here I wished to inherit a Japanese tradition involved in an instrument of koto, and make it develop based on modernity. I wanted to revive "So uta (a koto song)" which is thoroughly forgot by modern koto music. That is the reason I have chosen haiku by Basho, whom I love and respect. The composition consists of following five haiku, Passages in parentheses are added as a kind of expression signs. 1. Friends are they? Separated by clouds, wild geese part for life (for something far away)
