Concert Postcard: Dojoji 2001
Dear Friends,
We are excited to share with you Chapter 7 of Sachiyo Ito’s captivating memoir, titled “Dojoji: Dojoji 2001 and 2002.” In this poignant chapter, Ito delves into her reimagining of the classic Japanese legend of Dojoji. She recounts her journey of research, creation, and performance, challenging tradition to bring new life to this centuries-old tale. While exploring the symbolism of the temple bell, the transformative power of desire, and the universal themes of human attachment and destruction, she shares touching anecdotes about her collaborators and her creative process. Chapter 7 offers us a fascinating glimpse into Ito’s lifelong dedication to bridging Eastern and Western artistic sensibilities.
We look forward to reading more from Sachiyo Ito about how iconic aspects of Japanese culture have shaped her creative spirit and life’s work. Please stay tuned for updates on future memoir chapter releases.
Thank you, and please have a wonderful rest of the summer!
Best wishes,
Sachiyo Ito & Company
