Composed in 2010. It was a required piece for the Grand Prize (Tokkyu) category of the 37th PTNA Piano Competition in 2013.

This piece was composed as the first in the series of short pieces titled "Torsos," each bearing various "colors" as subtitles. The word "Torso" (bust) encapsulates two meanings: the freedom of form achieved through fragmentary writing, and the freedom of interpretation that varies depending on the observer. Written in an irregular ternary form, it depicts two main motifs contrapuntally merging with several variations, transforming into a single unified object. The image of "Bianco" (white) also implies the beginning of the series, and its sonic characteristic is an ambiguous, drifting, floating sensation.
