Kitaro’s music has long been renowned for its messages of peace and spirituality. In the wake of September 11, the artist began recording Sacred Journey Of Ku-kai,, an intended series of peace-themed albums (Vol. 1 released in 2003; Vol. 2 in 2005; Vol.3 in 2007), inspired by the classic Buddhist pilgrimage to the 88 sacred temples on Japan’s remote Shikoku Island, a journey taken by the beloved Buddhist monk Ku-kai over a millennium ago. “The wars of the world don’t come from outer space. People create them, people who have a war within themselves. I want to create music that eases the war within,” Kitaro says.
Kitaro was recording Peace Bell in Shikoku, Japan as following schedule now.
