Masanori Takahashi, better known as Kitaro is a Japanese recording artist, composer, record producer, and arranger noted for his electronic-instrumental music. Although he is often associated with and regarded as one of the most prominent composers of new-age music, I refuse to put him in that category; he is much, much more.

This is one of very many vinyl LP albums of mine that belong in my special category, “Just the cover, ma’am” (link below).
I discovered Kitaro in the late seventies when he began his solo career; I remember the first album of his I found was Ten Kai.
I used the cut Beat from it for the first fashion show I did for Obiko in 1980 (link below), the art to wear boutique owned by Sandra Sakata in San Francisco (links below). The show was a tribute to Art Deco artist, Erté. I used some of the music from Ten Kai for the segment that featured the surreal fantasy designs by Kaisik Wong (link below) with stunning results.
date & photographer unknown
On the 14th of May in 1987 I produced a fashion show at the Marco Polo Showroom, in San Francisco, California, for JEANNE-MARC and Obiko to benefit the Fiberworks Center for the Textile Arts in Berkeley; unfortunately, the Center closed later that year after the fashion show.
On the 7th of May, during
the production planning for the fashion show, Kitaro,
who was a friend of Sandra's, came to the Obiko showroom. I knew he was
goinig to be there, so, of course, couldn’t help but bring one of his
albums for him to autograph . . .
. . . which he graciously did!
Kitaro
was Sandra's favorite composer to use for her fashion shows and I utilized
his work in every one I could. The last show I produced for her and
Obiko was on September 4, 1997. She died two weeks later on September
21, 1997. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of
her.
