The record
Koto music on a Prestige jacket, which is reason enough to pull it: Shinichi Yuize on koto, shamisen and voice, Yasuko Yuize on koto with a bass koto solo, Toshio Takahashi on flute. Two-koto pieces, six preludes written for bass koto, and a closing song scored for voice, sangen and flute. PR 7505, stereo, 1967.
