Japan Sound Portrait

This week's podcast is a special feature on the music of Koichi Yuasa - a former car mechanic turned tea farmer now living in the town of Ureshino, Saga prefecture. His company make amazing tea oil products: http://www.ryokumon.jp/ He taught me the meaning of the word 'shibui', probably my favourite Japanese word: a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty. https://intoroniq.bandcamp.com/releases We make music together as shinekosei. http://shinekosei.bandcamp.com/
