This piece was composed in 1997 as part of a tour program for Teruhisa Fukuda (shakuhachi and Shiho Kineya (shamisen). It was first introduced in Tokyo in that year. It has a pentatonic base and a free musical structure. It starts quietly with the special techniques of the sorane on the shakuhachi and the koki-zume on the shamisen. After each instrument does a solo and the shamisen player sings a short song the piece ends quietly with a musical line using the shakuhachi sorane and the uti-nuki on the shamisen. Atsuki Sumi was born in Fukuoka in 1948. He studied under Toru Tamura at the Musashino Academia Musicae. He is the supervisor of the Banquet Office. His main works are the "To-fu-sho" for the shakuhachi, sho and percussion instruments, "M A S U" for piano and original orgel (music box) and "Fish from Heaven" a solo for the shakuhachi.
