"The Four Seasons of Japan" (often released in Japanese as "Nippon No Shiki") is a concept studio album by the renowned German violinist, arranger, and orchestra leader Alfred Hause (Alfred Hause And His Orchestra), released in 1976 by Polydor.
Alfred Hause enjoyed phenomenal popularity in Japan, where he regularly toured extensively. This album became his grand musical tribute to Japanese culture, nature, and traditional songs, reimagined through the lens of European orchestral tradition.
The album's concept is built around a traditional Japanese motif—the four seasons, where each state of nature is associated with specific feelings and songs.
