Keiko Fujiie (Japanese: 藤家渓子), born in 1963 in Kyoto, is a composer whose music is frequently performed both in Japan and internationally.
Support from the Asian Cultural Council resulted in a residency in New York for several months in 1992-93, where she returned in 1998 to premiere In Their Shoes, a music and dance collaboration.
This last piece accords to the poetry sung by the mother of one of the members of a ship used on a Japanese mission to Tang dynasty China which departed in the year 733 AD.
She composed this poetry on seeing her son off at Naniwa-kyō port, calling to a skein of cranes in the sky to ask to warm the traveler whenever there was a layer of frost on the field.
One area of interest is the Gagaku ancient court music in Japan, which she researches, also composing for this instrumental ensemble.
