The Western flute and harp may seem to have much in common, togeter, with the Japanese bamboo flute, shakuhachi, and the plucked zither, koto. In this aspect Marc Grauwels imitates on his modern instrument the sound of the traditional Japanese flute. Western instruments are used in an evocative performance of Japanese songs dating from after the opening up of Japan to external influences in 1868, an effective musical meeting of East and West.
