The title "Journey to Zipangu" just means "Journey to Japan Kingdom" or Japan Land. Anyone who read the bio and history of Himekami, would understand that Mr. Yoshiaki Hoshi, the solo composer and performer, had deepest love for his homeland. All of his music was inspired and dedicated to the Jomon civilization from the northeast region of Japan.
Jomon origin - the earliest Japanese culture combined both northeast and southwest civilization. Hoshi has been working hard to elevate Jomon culture into the mainstream just as Yayoi civilization amount Japanese, enable people to pay the same respect and appreciation to Jomon as himself. In his music, the culture he represent has always been regarded as barbaric, primitive, dull side of Japanese culture; however, the northeast region was the birthplace of Japan's most peaceful period in the history.
