About "Rokudan Shodan Variation"
3.Rokudan Shodan VariaFon:
This is a representaFve music of Koto, by a musician "Yatsuhashi Kengyo" during the Edo era. Originally, this song was
called 'Danmono,' and was composed of six parts, but Atsumi made the first part as a new variaFon form. In order to
take an advantage of the beauty of melodic sense of Koto, he struggled to carry its beauty on the guitar singing. He
added the harmony to the piece to highlight the sense of speed and dynamic feeling.
