A masterpiece album in suite form released in 1975 by Masahiko Togashi, the genius drummer who led the dawn of free jazz in Japan. The appeal of the album lies in the free improvisation throughout, such as "Moving," which develops from a majestic intro, "On The Footpath," which features a spectacular percussion solo, and the title track "Spiritual Nature," which highlights Sadao Watanabe's soprano saxophone. A historic masterpiece of Japanese jazz that won numerous awards, including the Swing Journal Jazz Disc Award in 1975.
