May 8, 2026.
From early morning, I visited and photographed the rose gardens of Yamashita Park and Harbor View Park in Yokohama.
The audio used in this work is Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D Minor, posted on YouTube.
Violin: Rina Nakano.
Orchestra: Orchestra Canvas Tokyo.
On February 28, 2026, I attended a concert at The Symphony Hall Osaka.
The work performed was Korngold: Violin Concerto.
Conductor: Masaaki Suzuki.
Violin: Rina Nakano.
Orchestra: Japan Century Symphony Orchestra.
I created this work as an expression of gratitude for what may truly be called a historic performance.
That day was the first time I heard her performance.
I noticed the concert only after quite some time had passed since the tickets had gone on sale.
My seat was in the front row, but on the left side.
That is why it was still available.
But the question of the seat meant nothing at all.
She was, in every sense, superhumanly magnificent.
I will write about this on another occasion.
Murata Natsuho, Himari, Rina Nakano.
Another genius of extraordinary magnitude was there.
I was truly astonished.
The sea of Yokohama.
The roses of Yamashita Park.
The roses of Harbor View Park.
The light of early summer.
The sea breeze.
And Sibelius’s Violin Concerto.
This video work brings all of them together into one.
