The original woodwind octet was commissioned by Kazuhiko Tsuchiya, Tamagawa Academy, and premiered at the 2008 Tokyo Elementary School Ensemble Contest.

The setting is in a forest, and various instruments represent different characters. The story line is creative and performers should think freely and enjoy expressing their own ideas.

Original instrumentation was Flute/Oboe/Soprano Saxophone/2 Alto Saxophones /Bass Clarinet/2 Percussion.
I revised it for flexible instrumentation in 2016.
