Yakushi-ji is one of the most famous imperial and ancient Buddhist temples in Japan, located in Nara.
Yakushiji is the resting place of the ashes of Genjo Sanzo, the 7th Century monk who walked the Silk Road from Japan to India and back. It was Genjo who brought back from India the sacred texts that introduced Buddhism into China and Japan.
LIVE IN YAKUSHIJI is a broad and deep journey, to inner realms as well as exotic earthly destinations that only Kitaro can deliver. Recorded over three evenings in the sacred Yakushiji Temple in the ancient Japanese capital of Nara. Kitaro reprises nine favorite compositions from earlier albums, plus his Golden Globe Award-Winning theme from the Oliver Stone film “Heaven and Earth” and two previously unreleased tracks.

From the opening chant of the Yakushiji monks, it is apparent that this is going to be a special offering from Kitaro. The legendary World Music pioneer’s latest album is a two-CD set recorded over three evenings in the sacred Yakushiji Temple in the ancient Japanese capital, Nara.
With full instrumentation, Kitaro reprises nine favorite compositions from earlier albums. This is a tour de force for Kitaro and ensemble. All the drama, grace and humanity of his usual offerings are here with the added immediacy of the live recording and the profound spirit of the Yakushiji monks who appear on the previously unreleased “Wa” in addition to the opening track.
After his journey, you will definitely feel like you’ve gone somewhere!!
Also available in DVD with an exclusive interview with Kitaro and History of the Yakushiji Temple.

“It was genjo’s journey that originally inspired the Silk Road music.” recalls Kitaro. “I was hoping to capture in the music his experience along the way. And the passion we expressed in the Yakushiji concert reflected, I believe, the passion of Genjo’s journey.”
