Kan Ishii (石井歓, Ishii Kan) born March 30, 1921 in Tokyo, Japan, is a composer, and the brother of composer Maki Ishii (石井眞木). His father, Bac Ishii (1887-1982) was a prominent Japanese ballet dancer. His Symphonia Ainu won a prize at the 1958 Art Festival, inspiring him to do further work inspired by nationalist primitivism. His musical style appeals directly to the emotions, and shows the influence of Carl Orff. In addition to orchestral and vocal music <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Kan+Is
