Heian Rakusha "Pillow Book Recitation and Gagaku

The Pillow Book was reevaluated last year with the broadcast of NHK's historical drama "Hikaru Kimi he" (To the Luminous Kimi).
　The "Pillow Book" is one of the twin masterpieces of secondhand literature, comparable to "The Tale of Genji," and is also the oldest essay in Japan. And it contains the names of many gagaku pieces.
　Therefore, we have decided to hold a concert featuring a reading of the original text of "The Pillow Book" and a duet of Heian period gagaku music, in a similar program to the CD "Gagaku of The Pillow Book" (fontec) released 10 years ago by Keikou Hasegawa, but with significant changes in the music program.
