The Cello Sonata "Taketori Monogatari" is based on "The Tale of the Bamboo-Cutter", a graceful and dramatic classical tale projected onto the sound world and sung lyrically. The Suite No. 2 for Unaccompanied Cello" is a portrait of a man living in the modern world. The Four Seasons" is an improvisational piano sonata inspired by a series of carved metal and kimono works that weave in and out of the four diverse seasons of Japan. Ichitake Ichitake for unaccompanied cello", "Kusagakure for unaccompanied cello", and "In the Shadow of the Thin Air for two cellos" tell the story of Japanese beauty with the sound of the cello. ( 2 ) "Prologue to The Tale of Genji," a prelude to an ancient love story <Listening Highlights> ( 1 ) The first movement of the cello sonata "Taketori Monogatari" (The Tale of the Bamboo-Cutter): After a delicate piano prelude, the cello plays a lyrical theme, foretelling the beginning of the story. ( 3 ) 3rd movement: ( 5:09 - ) After a fierce battle scene with cello in six-note scale, the beautiful Kaguyahime's ascension to heaven is beautifully depicted by the high cello melody over the piano's dispersed chords.

( 8 ) "Four Seasons of Piano Sonata," 1st movement, "Yuyo" ( from the beginning ): The solo piano plays a beautiful Japanese beauty that makes us regret spring ( 14 ) "In the Thin Shadow for Two Cellos" ( from the beginning ): The melody played alternately by the two cellos deeply penetrates the listener's heart with a strong Japanese spirit in the midst of a desolate scene. The melody, played alternately by two cellos, penetrates deeply into the hearts of the listeners with its strong Japanese spirituality. <Kanako Takehana (Composition/Cello/Piano) began playing piano at the age of 5, and studied cello under Yoriyoyo Inoue from the age of 10, and later under Masaharu Karita.
