Track 7 of the Motherland suite - a series of meditative tone poems exploring themes of belonging and identity through my Japanese ancestry and roots.

Natadera Temple in Kaga, Japan is the second location where much of the Motherland Suite footage was shot in Summer 2019. The temple was founded in 717 AD, set in the mountains with serene lakes, trees and temple buildings throughout. One of the most important features of Natadera are its caves set into cliffs. The mythology is that the caves are portals to the spirit world - where spirits would come and go, and are also deeply tied into motherhood, so considered auspicious places for expecting mothers to visit. This composition is inspired by this place and story.
