About Osanpo Suisougaku - Seasonal Japanese Wind Band Radio
From the publisher's feed
Osanpo Suisougaku — "a stroll through wind band music" — is a short daily show from Japan.
Each episode opens with a small story from the Japanese calendar: the twenty-four solar terms,
the seventy-two micro-seasons, anniversaries, history, and old legends. From that day's story,
we bring you one piece of Japanese wind band music, chosen to match it.
A gentle few minutes simply to listen and enjoy — perfect for a drive or a quiet moment — and
a little window into Japanese seasonal culture and the world of Japanese wind band.
A link to each featured piece is in the show notes.
