History (John Kaizan Neptune):
| A part of the unique culture of Okinawa and the other islands in the Ryukyus is the traditional five-tone scale used in this piece. It is enhanced without the three-stringed, banjo-like sanshin instrument of those islands to give the composition a folksy, distinctly non-Japanese flavor. |
