Extracts from Heike Monogatari
Heike Monogatari was written in the Kamakura period (l3C) and it is one of the representative works of Japanese literature.

It has been a significant source of Japanese traditional music called Katarimono, a form of story-telling through song, usually accompanied by the Biwa (lute). One part of the Heike Monogatari, "AOBA-NO-FUE", was written with the theme of the heartlessness of war. The flute arrangement by Kohei Nishikawa appeals to the character’s sentiment in the story, expressing well the sorrow in the world.
