About Traditional Japanese Music
Traditional Japanese MusicSolo Shackuhachi Music (Honkyoku)
These recordings are both relaxing and meditative. Capturing the spiritual flavor of traditional Japanese culture and performed by Yoshikazu Iwamoto.
The repetoire featured on this album dates from the Edo period (1603-1868) and are traditional pieces which have been handed down by zen buddist musician priests known as Komuso (Priests of Nothingness). These priests created the music for the Shakuhachi known as honkyoku, which is the core of the traditional Shakuhachi repetoire.
The Instrument

Yoshikazu Iwamoto
