This is a rare recording of the Mieku ceremony - a Buddhist memorial service for the dead - as observed by the Shingon sect, and incorporating the Buddhist ceremonial music, Shomyo, which is over 2,000 years old. In this performance, recorded at the Okunoin temple on Mount Koya in 1993, an exceptional world overtone has been created by the priests' voices chanting the esoteric scriptures.
