Mizugaki

Track 3 of the Motherland suite - a series of meditative tone poems exploring themes of belonging and identity through my Japanese ancestry and roots.

Mizugaki is my mother’s family name and also the mythical name given to a circle of trees which would surround and protect the place where a deity lived. The mizguaki would evolve through eras to become the defensive wall surrounding a lord’s inner chambers, or a symbolic boundary protecting a sacred item in a temple. This composition is an illustration of the protective walls, eventually letting us see the sacred and divine that it’s been keeping safe from view.
