I visited Eikando on November 23, 2025.

Renowned as one of Kyoto’s foremost destinations for autumn leaves,
Eikando had not yet reached its absolute peak that day.
Even so, its presence and beauty were unmistakable.

There are moments that can only be seen just before full culmination—
in the colors of the leaves,
the depth of shadow,
and the tension in the air itself.

For this work,
I chose Ralph Vaughan Williams’s
Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.

Its sonority resonates quietly with the space of Eikando,
supporting the memory of that day without intrusion.
