An album released in 1988 by Tytti-Leena Laasanen, a performer of the traditional Finnish string instrument, the kantele. Resembling a zither in form, its origin is said to be rooted in Finnish mythology. Laasanen received guidance from her grandfather, a renowned instrument maker and player, and her father and siblings are also active as kantele instructors. Its sound is akin to the piano-like plucked strings of a harpsichord, yet with a delicacy and rustic melodic scale that resonates with Japanese audiences, evoking nostalgia.
