I’ve released a new ambient piece on Bandcamp: "Scent of the River Air".
The track was inspired by a quiet summer afternoon beside the Shōnai River in Nagoya - warm air, slow water, and a moment of calm by the water.

Part 2:
Kato Kiyomasa was also the brainy guy who sponsored the biggest stone for the castle to impress the emporer.
Guess his employees have been less impressed...

Nowadays, with his Napoleon complex, he would probably drive a huge car (Audi / Mercedes / ...)

Don't we all have that "great" colleague who tells you what to do while getting in your way?
Samurai Kato Kiyomasa:
The first historically recorded case of workplace bullying!
Standing on the stone that the workers are supposed to be moving, cheering/yelling at them...
