Description

Inspired by the wonderful historical ruins and cultural properties scattered throughout the Kanto region, I wrote this book while imagining various stories, centering on the legend of the "feral tiger" that is passed down at a certain temple. The song begins with "Hikarigoke" and develops various motifs such as "Tiger", "Korobokkuru", "Battle", "Nio statue", and "Ranma", which gradually intertwine. The few weeks I spent writing this work, envisioning the scenes and landscapes of the story, and being able to go on an adventure with an imaginary tiger was a truly enjoyable time. I hope that all of the performers will also be able to play with this tiger.
