Composed in 1979, the title of the piece means "joining hearts" referring to the coming together and separating throughout the piece of various musical flavors and qualities. It uses shakuhachi honkyoku ("original pieces") style in places with percussion interludes including the use of the uchiwadaiko set, the marimba, and at the end the vibraphone in quiet duet with the shakuhachi.
