Sumie Kaneko performs “MAIHANA” — an original composition for koto and voice. “MAIHANA” (菒英) meaning “dancing flower,” weaves traditional koto techniques with Sumie's jazz-influenced vocal improvisation. The piece captures the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms in motion, bridging ancient Japanese aesthetics with a modern, cross-genre sensibility. Featured on the album Dead of the Night (2016).
