My living room just isn't good enough for this music. I need a
bare wood floor, no furniture and a view of a mountain.
--The Wire
SANYOU and KOUGETSU [from Sun Moon] are a pair, like the sun
and the moon. In KOUGETSU I tried to express the clearness of
the moon at night; in SANYOU, the purity of the early morning
air.
The Chinese character getsu means moon. In Chinese, similarly,
the verb 'to chip' is pronounced ketsu. They are connected by
the fact that the phases of the moon represent a 'chipping'
away of its face. In Japanese, however, the word for moon is
tsuki, which has the same sound as the word for obsession. We
can thus understand how the ancient Japanese felt about the
moon. Even today we can feel the mysterious beauty of the full
moon in the clear sky.
