about

Aural Films continues the epic project to document the Japanese Zodiac (Junishi) Animal Time with 24 hours of ambient music in a series of releases that will reflect all twelve of the signs.

Part five, Tatsu - hour of the dragon clocks in at 7'00 in the morning lasting till 9'00 - the time to get off for prosperous enterprises as well as for common daily work and other chores. As the dragon is the imperial sign par excellence, the Chinese emperor sitting on the dragon throne, the Japanese imperial family still boasting of ancient descent from a mythical king of sea dragons. It is also a symbol of power and sovereignty, of wealth and happiness. dragons—although being yang in nature, are deeply connected with all water aspects - sea, lakes, torrents, rivers - and the prosperous rainfall to provide the people with abundant harvests. many temples - both shinto and Buddhist - are built in places (often mountain peaks) where it is said that a celestial dragon had departed from sky to earth, the place still bearing his power and bliss. Also, at special days in the year, traditional races of dragon-boats are hold: in Hong Kong at end of May, in Japan at Okinawa at 3rd or 4th of June as a thanksgiving for good fishing seasons.
