Summary/Abstract: Among those most enchanted by Eastern art in the interwar Poland were: Piotr Perkowski,Aleksander Tansman, Jerzy Gablenz, and Jan Maklakiewicz. The inspiration fromJapanese culture was initiated in the late 20th century by Włodzimierz Kotoński – a composer specializing in computer and electronic music. Fascinated by Matsuo Bashŏ’s poetry, Kotoński composed 7 Haiku For Female Voice and Seven Instruments and dedicated thepiece to the British soprano, Jane Manning. Not only does Kotoński’s cycle portray the contemplation of nature and the surrounding world, but it also has a touch of subtle sacrum.
