Kitaro - Sacred Journey Of Ku-kai (1998) [SACD]

Sacred Journey of Ku-kai is first in a series of albums intended to address personal and global concerns alongside forward-thinking views of spiritual growth.
Kitaro has embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage, visiting temples on the island of Shikoku, Japan once undertaken by Buddhist holy man, Ku-kai, more than 1,100 years ago. Sampling bells sounds from each temple, Kitaro distills their essence with inspired musical landscapes.
It is Kitaro’s intention that his message of peace through music will inspire and unify us universally in global and spiritual co-existence. “The wars of the world don’t come from outer space. People create them, people who have a war within themselves. I want to create music that eases that war within.” — Kitaro
