This maiden work by TOZAN NAKAO was composed in July 1904. It is composed of four movements. The first two movements are written for solo. These two movements are not so rhythmic, but have melodies with "Jiuta" like flavor. The first movement features the magnificent view of the sea, and the second movement the scene of warriors slipping in the enemy's camp. The composition makes a complete change in the third movement which is performed by ensemble in two parts and is abundant in bright melodies.
