In 1959

a Japanese radio specialist

was exiled to the

Showa Science Station

Antarctica


He was cut off from the world

and the woman he loved

Using short wave radio

he began to record sounds

and music


These compositions

were his solace and inspiration

but he believed

they could be much more

Before vanishing on the ice

he placed his recordings

and other works

in a sea locker


He included a note:

* * *



I have often dreamt of the

person that may find this.


Who are you?


My only hope is that you are

a person of good conscience

and that you can see my work

for what it is. Either way,

this locker is my legacy.

Please treat it with respect.
