I present my best shots of Kanazawa with Saint-Saëns' Swan, performed by virtuoso cellists.

The day before, my best friend described a concert by Murata Natshuho in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, my mother's hometown, as "Natshuho descended as the sun goddess Amaterasu, and the high school girls from Gunma Prefecture who were the guests of honor and occupied the entire first floor turned into Jizo statues and listened intently to the music played by the violinist of the century." What a wise statement. Natshuho's genius deepened my inner vision, and a miraculous photo book was born.
