The piece, Kanki ("Joy"), is a counterbalance to the predominantly melancholy traditional koto music. In addition to the currently ever more common employment of European instruments in otherwise traditional ensembles (compare, for example, the previous work), the creation of larger ensembles, such as in this piece, is a widespread tendency of contemporary koto composition.
