Kiyoshi Yamaya – Tapestry Koto & The Occident Sea
Kiyoshi Yamaya – Tapestry Koto & The Occident Sea
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing.
Cinematic koto crossover with tight jazz-funk finesse — Kiyoshi Yamaya’s 1976 “Sea” chapter from the Tapestry: Koto trilogy.
Kiyoshi Yamaya & Contemporary Sound Orchestra – Tapestry Koto & The Occident Sea
This is the “serious” side of Japanese crossover: Kiyoshi Yamaya’s tight arrangements, Toshiko Yonekawa’s razor-sharp koto, and a rhythm section built from top-tier jazz players. Traditional melodies, flipped into crisp jazz-funk/rare groove without losing the Japanese mood. No filler — every cut works.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
