"Chidori no kyoku" by Yoshida and Kyoko Seifu

Song: 千鳥の曲 (Chidori's songs)
Artist: 吉田 晴風 and Kyoko
Commentary: I thought I had posted a song from my old Japanese song collection. This is one of my favorites. To me, they sound very... non-Western. I get the feeling it's from a different musical tradition, at least (it is). See this site on koto music for details about this recording and other nice koto and gagaku 78s.
