For many years, archaeologists and students have been excavating the remains of the Yayoi style pottery period on the Ayaragi plateau, located north of Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1966. The fact that two earthen flutes were discovered in that place led to the restoration of the earthen flute by the print artist Toshiyuki Matsuoka. When Masuda Takemune learned of Hiroshi Tamura's ability to bring the sound of the flute back to life in the modern age, he introduced it on the radio, and began recording it in 1978. Each side contains one long piece of music using a variety of instruments in addition to the earthen flute. The simple yet purifying tone is warm from beginning to end as if it is a stabilizer.

1966年山口県下関の北に位置する綾羅木郷台地、長年考古学の方や学生の有志達で弥生式土器時代の遺跡の発掘が行われて来た場所で二つの土笛が発見された事をきっかけに版画家松岡敏行による土笛の復元、その笛の音色を現代に蘇えらせる演者田村洋の存在を知ってラジオでの紹介した桝田武宗がレコード化に動き実現した78年の録音物。両面に土笛以外にも様々な楽器を用いた長尺の曲を一曲ずつ収録。安定剤と表現されているように素朴ながら浄化されるような音色は終始暖かい。
