AFTER HOKUSAI Op.89 (playing score)

These five little pieces, each based on a Hokusai print, make use of various conventions of traditional Japanese music, such as the (differing) forms of Japanese 'soft' and 'hard' scales. An area of the Japanese ukiyo-e or 'pictures of the floating world' is made up of kacho-ga -literally, 'flower-and-bird pictures'.The idea underlying kacho-ga was not a simple reproduction of nature, but an expression of subjective emotion, giving pleasure to the refined mind that delights in the contemplation of natural beauty. The artist Hokusai, together with his great contemporary, Hiroshige, brought this art to its highest form.
