Fumio Miyashita (1949–2003) was a staggeringly prolific yet largely unheralded new age artist from Japan. Fans of Japanese psychedelia know Miyashita best as a founding member of Far Out and Far East Family Band, two pioneering progressive/space rock bands that existed during the mid-'70s.

Like Far East Family Band's most well-known member, Kitaro, Miyashita began making solo electronic music and composing soundtracks after the group broke up around 1977. Eventually he started making music specifically focused on healing, meditation, therapy, and sleep, and released over a hundred albums, which sold well in his native country.

We are excited to announce the release of Fumio Miyashita's last and previously unreleased recording from 1999 on vinyl.

NHK, Japan's national broadcaster, produced a program to introduce famous waterfalls in Japan, and various musicians performed at waterfalls all over the country. In this program, Fumio Miyashita dedicated a performance at Nachi Falls, one of the most famous waterfalls in Japan.

This album is like an otoemaki, or a scroll painting of music, created based on the inspiration he got from the performance at that time.
