It vividly captures the life and spirit of Kukai, who embarked on a perilous journey to China during the Tang dynasty to study under the esteemed Master Huiguo. Upon returning to Japan, Kukai introduced profound cultural and spiritual insights that shaped Japanese art, philosophy, and Buddhism, making him an eternal symbol of global cultural exchange. The symphony's global tour, which began in August, has received overwhelming acclaim in Lanzhou, Kyoto, Tokyo, and London.
