Bodh Gaya is one of the four great Buddhist holy sites, where Mahabodhi Temple stands. Akira Ito of Far East Family Band visits the area and the quietness of the morning, the sound of the sitar coming from somewhere, the chirping of birds, the sight of monks, the lives of people living with nature, the peaceful countryside, the townscape that comes alive again in the evening, creating a meditative trip work that depicts the flow of a day. This is one of the spiritual series that includes Surf Break from Jamaica and Island Shower, and think it can be said to be a his unique work with a different style from Ito's "Bosatu & Mugen" and "Buddha". The illustrations by Tadayoshi Arai, who worked on the video for Hosono Haruomi's Mercuric Dance, are also impressive. The jacket is slightly dirty, comes with obi and poster.
大菩提寺がそびえる仏教四大聖地のひとつであるブッダガヤ。Far East Family Bandの伊藤詳がその地を訪れ朝の静寂、どこかから聞こえてくるシタールの響き、小鳥のさえずり、修行僧たちの姿、自然と共に生きる人々の生活、のどかな田園風景、夕方にまた活気づく町並み、そんな一日の流れを綴ったメディテーティブ・トリップ作品。サーフ・ブレイク・フロム・ジャマイカやアイランド・シャワーなどを残すスピリチュアルなシリーズのひとつで伊藤の”菩薩と無限”や”ブッダ”とは趣向の違う異色の作品と言えると思います。細野晴臣のマーキュリック・ダンスのビデオを手掛けた荒井唯義のイラストレイションも独特。ジャケット少し汚れあり帯、ポスター付いてます。
