Resounding voices, clapping hands, and the sound of geta stamping on the floorboards of the shrine's worship hall. The evil spirits of the earth are driven out, the space is purified, the souls of the ancestors are welcomed — and at last the Bon dance begins. — Tamon Wakamiya, chief priest of Nagataki Hakusan Shrine

A recording of Gifu folklore: "Shirotori Odori," "Shirotori Haiden Odori," and "Gujo Odori."
Music that reaches its heights with nothing but voices and wooden geta — there may be nothing else like it anywhere in the world. The vocals are as deep and dark as Kawachi Ondo, and as distant yet near as Ethiopian folk song. Requiem, spirits, stillness and beauty. A sigh... it shines on a midsummer night. Of Makoto Kubota's work, this moved me more than anything since the Minami-jima (South Islands) series! (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
