[ Sylvia Hinz ] - Anonyma - Tosa No Sunayama (traditional japanese song)

#RecorderPower #recorderpower Sylvia Hinz, tenor recorder solo Berlin, 20th Dec 2020 “This folk song is about a tragic tsunami in 1340AD, which killed over 100,000 people in Northern Japan. Tosa no Sunayama means “Sand Mountain of Tosa”. After the incident, mountains of sand was piled up and the Japanese people would think, “How we wish the mountains of sand were mountains of rice!” Despite the sorrow of the story, it is one of my favourite Japanese folk songs, as it expresses the feeling from that moment in time.“
