She worked with 12 instrumentalists, from friends to streek buskers in London, to realize each pieces, which are sent to a Japanese painter, Yamada Hidetoshi, who drew beautiful pictures for individual piece. then ryoko created a poem for those paintings. comes with organic and soft touch of books.
