Akai Ito
Tessa Wagener (2015)
This book features the story of Pieter Bezuidenhoudt, a composer. The book titled Akai Ito is named after his composition that interprets the red string theory (akai ito). The red string theory is a belief originating from East Asian folklore that suggests people who are meant to be together are connected by a red string, tied on their little fingers. Pieter's musical composition presents his personal interpretation of the theory, and it served as a significant inspiration for the book's overall theme, chapter breakdown, and stylistic elements.
