JAKUCHU SUITE (Elephant Dance and Whale Raga)

This suite was inspired by the Museum’s “Elephant and Whale Screens,” painted by Ito Jakuchu in the 18th century, after the first elephant was brought to Japan.

Asian and African elephants alike communicate with their kind using very low rumbles, most of them below the range of human hearing. It is likely that it was an Asian elephant that first came to Japan, and it is the call of this species that has the last “word” in this interplay.
