Hi,

Hopefully everyone is safe and enjoying life wherever you are!

I had been busy writing articles, interviews and editing photos etc.
Cleaning the house, and taking photos all over Kyoto by bike now too.Its too damn hot here in Kyoto Japan tho...! Please stay safe and cool~

Red Dragonfly(赤とんぼ)-Improvisation w.Tadao Ishihama@ManpukujiTemple in Japan, Guest Lafayette Harris


This is the video that I edited from the one when the legendary Jazz pianist from NY, Lafayette Harris Jr visited Japan privately Fall in 2019, He came to Tadao Ishihama's Concert in Osaka, and joined him without knowing what this song is.

Someone in the Audience requested to play, as it was late Fall.
This song is a Japanese Folk song and I believe all Japanese people know this, and can sing!

They played beautifully and spiritually.
Please enjoy as this is very relaxing and calm you, take you to the other places...lol

"Red Dragonfly" (Japanese: 赤とんぼ, Hepburn: Akatonbo) (also transliterated as Akatombo, Aka Tombo, Aka Tonbo, or Aka Tomba) is a famous Japanese children's song (dōyō) composed by Kosaku Yamada in 1927, with lyrics from a 1921 poem by Rofū Miki. It is a nostalgic depiction of a Japanese red dragonfly seen at sunset by an infant being carried on an older sister's shoulder.
