Incarnations of Vishnu is a piano solo piece composed by Akira Nishimura, commissioned by Music From Japan. Music From Japan (MFJ) was founded in 1975 by Naoyuki Miura to promote Japanese music in the United States and worldwide. It has introduced various Japanese musical works, such as Gagaku, Hogaku, Ainu and Okinawan music, and commissioned pieces by contemporary composers, in New York, Washington D.C., Latin America, Central Asia, and other regions. Incarnations of Vishnu was premiered in New York in 2002; however, at the 'Music From Japan 40th Anniversary Festival' held at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan in March 2015, the fourth movement, 'Nrsimha (Man-Lion),' was also performed. This work is dedicated to pianist Aki Takahashi, and both the premiere and the performance at the aforementioned festival were given by Takahashi. The score for Incarnations of Vishnu was released by Zen-On Music Company in 2002, and a CD (piano: Aki Takahashi) was released by Camerata.
