Taro Ishida composed the music for the exhibition "Indigenous Brazilian Chairs: Wildlife and Imagination" held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum in the summer of 2018.
After several presentations to the core members of the project, including Toyojiro Hida, director of the Teien Art Museum, Toyo Ito, architect, and Shinichi Nakazawa, cultural anthropologist, I arrived at the conclusion that the music should be a solo piece on the Gakubiwa, an instrument used in gagaku, the ancient Japanese court music.

 

Ms. Kahoru Nakamura, one of Japan's leading Gakubiwa player performed his song.

 

The music that was actually played at the venue is also available for digital streaming.

Here is a shot of the Gakuiwa solo concert held at the venue.
