Universally acknowledged as the founding architect of new age music, Kitaro's various sound collaborations and resonant, multi-textured compositions truly defy the constraints of any genre. His latest project, the third in a series of peace-themed works, is inspired by the classic Buddhist pilgrimage to the 88 sacred temples on Japan's remote Shikoku island. A journey taken over a millennium ago by Buddhist monk Ku-Kai, the music contained in this album continue to explore the uncharted waters with his magnificent vision and ever-questing spirit.
