Product details
Composed between 1997 and 2005, this major work draws on Japanese mythology, the writings of Georges Perec and Italo Calvino, and the mangled fragments of English often used in Japanese advertising (sometimes called 'Japlish') on tourist brochures and biscuit packets.
'...complex, subtly nuanced and infinitesimally crafted... a minutely staged drama. One listens intently, as you might for the sound of frogs, crickets, strange characters and even spirits in an unfamiliar mountain village at night, while overhearing murmured conversation from another room. The work is dreamlike, floating just outside consciousness.' Chris Reid, RealTime
