"Tono Monogatari" is a collection of anecdotes and legends from Tono, Iwate Prefecture, recorded by the folklorist Kunio Yanagita. The local performing art "Shishi Odori" that appears in the prologue and final chapter is said to express the conflict and harmony between humans and nature, as well as memorial services and prayers for all things, including the dead. Can contemporary musicians unravel the sounds and memories of funerals that have been accumulated in the land of Tono for 400 years through the still-ringing drums and flutes?
