2026/1/22 | Snow at Kinkaku-ji | Saint-Saëns Samson et Dalila“My heart opens to your voice” / Debussy Petite Suite: En bateau | 10 min

According to the weather forecast, today was meant to be a snow-covered Kinkaku-ji.
In the morning, the live camera showed the temple grounds lightly dusted with snow.
However, as on a previous occasion, by the time I arrived, the snow had already melted.
Just as expected.
To make matters more subtle, the sun was occasionally obscured by clouds.

This work is a video piece of just over nine minutes,
capturing the constantly shifting light and air of each fleeting moment.

The music consists of:

  1. From Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Saëns
    “Mon cœur s’ouvre à ta voix” (“My heart opens to your voice”)
    Piano: Chihiro Tamba
  2. Claude Debussy
    Petite Suite: “En bateau”

Snow, light, clouds, and music.
The same moment will never return.
