Eight is considered lucky number in Japanese as the physical shape of the kanji character, 八 , which broadens gradually at the bottom, symbolizing expanding or growing fortune and prosperity. In this piece, eight drummers are arranged on stage in this shape, pushing their physical limitations as they play with all their spirit, praying for peace and a wide path toward the future.
