... And his new sonic work "Symphony Jo-Ha-Kyu" will be unveiled there!!!
*Jo-Ha-Kyu is artistic modulations in traditional Japanese performances such as Noh and Gagaku, and roughly translated to"beginning (Jo, introduction), break (Ha, exposition) and rapid(Kyu, climax), it essentially means that all actions or efforts should begin slowly, speed up, and then end swiftly.

I think Noh theater is the ultimate evolution form as "Natural Acoustic PA" before acoustics in theaters or music halls has electrified.
Every time I stand the stage and play, I feel deep emotion that whole the space of Honjo Noh theater has become an acoustic musical instrument.
Not only the physical aspects of acoustics, the theater is filled with supernatural "force of the field" for the "Noh" which express supernatural mystery.
That's the reason why I've been fascinated by this Noh theater.

At the night, I will show you my new symphonic sound, for you all, Honjo Noh theater and all the idyllists who gather there.
I will play the "Symphony Jo-Ha-Kyu" by unaccompanied guitar solo.
I, with all myself, anticipate the night to play in the supernatural mystery with you.
I will wait for you at the other side, nirvana. "
(JINMO)
