| Notes |
The piece is based on Yoshie Hikage’s poem about the little winter flower (Fukujuso) and reflects the innocent character of the poem. This piece is dedicated to Yoshie Hikage. FUKUJUSO originally in Japanese by Yoshie Hikage, translated into English by Hyo-shin Na The sun shining Only happiness now Seeing you, the little FUKUJUSO So prim Painted inside a beautiful bowl, Put outside in the gardenA smile, FUKUJUSO |
