Commentary

This work tells the story of a dress made from white cloth that fell from the sky and changes patterns one after another, becoming a floral pattern in a flower garden, and a polka-dot pattern when it rains, etc. Repetitive phrases used in the work, such as "rararan rororon", etc., have a rhythmic feel to them and are pleasing to listen to.
