Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai: Volume 2 is part of Kitaro's latest project, a series of recordings dedicated to peace. Like the first album from the series, nominated for a Best New Age Album GRAMMY Award, every track contains samples from ancient Japanese temple bells (Peace Bells) and is intended to inspire spiritual awakening and a profound sense of peace.
With poignant, passionate melodies and alchemic sound, Kitaro’s multifaceted social undertaking of Ku-kai’s ubiquitous mystical legend is an evocative, rich sonic terrain that documents his continuing pilgrimage to temples on the island of Shikoku, Japan, and further extends his intention of spreading peace through music.
