Script: Kiyoshi Akiyama
Narration, Songs, Instruments and Composer: Toshi Tsuchitori and Harue Momoyama
Lyrics: Yumeji Takehisa(1884-1934)

Yumeji Gensho[total time 62:57]
te-ni-makeba... [3:02_RealAudio][2:00_AU]



Traveling troupes, going from temple to temple in Shikoku, village
festivals, mountains, the sea, the sky.
The world of the artist Yumeji Takehisa fills us with nostalgic memories of
our childhoods and adoloscense.

Yumeji, the socialist
Yumeji, the rebel who stood up against academism
Yumeji, the artist who sketched the Great Kanto Earthquake, and poor women,
Yumeji, the lover of children and their world
Cosmopolitan, idealist.
And full of nostalgia for his hometown. Everything overlaps into a
beautiful picture.
(Toshi Tsuchitori)

'The Ryuko Gakusha' Label



With that in mind was the 'The Ryuko Gakusha' Label created. Universal interaction is everything in this modern society. Information bombards us from all sides, And we mistake it for our freedom. Schools and colleges give us very limited music education, Giving us a warped perception of music. Traditional ethnic music is forgotten and folk music has lost its past glory. People are only interested in music that has been commercialized. The world of Japanese music has become Westernised to a point that is not seen elsewhere in the world. In order to mend matters even a little, this site intends to introduce the best music from all over the world and to present the creative powers of Toshi Tsuchitori and Harue Momoyama.
