Over the last half-century, I have encountered and played various pianos around the world.
This piano no longer sang—my saddest encounter.
We inherited this piano from Minato Dai-ni Elementary School, which was destroyed by the tsunami on that fateful day.
The Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami struck 14 years ago today, on March 11, 2011.
22,228 people lost their lives or remain missing.
As of February 1 this year, 27,615 people were still displaced due to the nuclear power plant accident and tsunami.

As we are moving away from the winter's darkness, we invite you to celebrate the onset of spring with us, in an intimate living room-style concert.
The fifth edition of "of Sound and Song" will be my solo performance. It is the first time I will be playing John Cage’s Four Walls (1944), an intriguing piece originally written for a dance performance. It is followed by Consolation (1989), a meditative and hypnotic piece of the unusual Russian composer Alexander Raskatov. To honour and observe the powerful changes in light and nature, this performance will have a sense of ritual, a prayer for the deities of springtime.
