Taki to Oshima

about

Japanese folklore is very interesting indeed. The vast Pantheon of the Shintō (#神道) Gods is accompanied by a whole series of spirits, demons, creatures more or less evil, the Yōkai (#妖怪), whose exploits are often found in Japanese literature and certainly in many manga and anime.

The author of the most interesting and respectful of tradition "folkloristic" manga is undoubtedly Morohoshi Daijirō (#諸星大二郎). In his manga there are stories, but there are also the original sources.

There is the #Kojiki, the #NihonShoki; there are the legends, with their regional variants; there are the traditional songs, admirably blended with the story conceived by Morohoshi. Truly a great mangaka, Morohoshi-dono.

One of his works that is particularly interesting for me features a Demon Hunter, Hieda Reijirō (# 稗 田 礼 二郎): "The Field Notes of Hieda Reijiro" (妖怪ハンター稗田礼二郎のフィールド・ノート) , known in the English translation as "The Advent of the Heavenly Grandson".

In that Work, together with our Yōkai Hunter (#妖怪ハンター), gravitate a series of very well portrayed and interesting characters, among which I was particularly struck by two youngsters, Taki and Oshima.

I dedicate to them this little piece written for congas, timbale, "techno" drums, and bass, which I wrote with #Lilypond.

A videoclip of this track is available on my facebook page, EidonVeda.

"Eidon put ook uit mathrock, minimal music, jazz, etnische muziek... Hij zou perfect passen als support van Gogo Penguin, Battles of Dijf Sanders en kan op termijn misschien wel een plaats veroveren op zowel Rock Werchter als Gent Jazz of Couleur Café. Benieuwd hoe hij dit live brengt"
