This work is composed in 1988 commissioned by Casals Hall, Tokyo, and is dedicated to Nanae Yoshimura. The world premiere was held in August 1988 at Casals Hall by Nanae Yoshimura and Tokyo New Vivaldi Ensemble conducted by Masaaki Hayakawa. I intended to make a rencotre with Koto which is the Japanese string instrument and the occidental string instruments' family. As everybody know that both of Koto and the occidental string instrument makes their sounds in a similar way (i.e., flip and / or rub its strings) but, they have a big difference between then concerning its playing techniques, musical aesthetics and expressions. As for me, I would rather tried a coexistence of such differences than appeal it in this work, and wished to express a musical imagination depended on the rencontre and the coexistence of both instruments. There existence of a "flame" which is burning briskly and is fluttering violently in the middle of the imagination. This "flame" is a Tantric saint flame, and utters the "Voices Phantasma" which is inspire of one's ghost. - Akira Nishimura
