History:

Autumn now touches the mountains and valleys beyond Nikko National Park. Each passing frost deepens the richness of the colors of the landscape. Riverlets begin high in the valley. They flow slowly, now dance merrily, then meet to rush through Lake Chuzenji, to fall as a thunder down the Kegon Falls.

Nagare (The Stream) for five kotos, shamisen and Japanese flute, is composed by Kazuko Tsukushi. It describes small streams of Nikko, all leading to the temple of Chuzenji and combining with other streams until they form the waterfall of Kegon.
