ドメニコ ティントレットが描いた肖像画で伊東マンショが着用した服 と小物の史実に基づく職人的な復元。
イタリアの繊維会社、職人、研究者によって進められたプロジェクトは、EXPO 2025 大阪・関西万博のイタリアパビリオンのために特別に実現され、イタリアの芸術、職人文化の価値を高める目的を持つ。
Evoking the grandeur of a bygone era, the music intertwines the delicate sounds of the harpsichord and other Renaissance instruments with traditional Japanese sonic elements. The vocal line is inspired by Noh chanting traditions—transporting the listener back to the time of Itō Mansho in the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
