Good introduction to Shakuhachi.......2007-05-17

I bought this CD to get a basic idea of the some of the classic sounds of Shakuhachi. I am a beginning player so this was essential to hearing a particular style and capabilities of a master artist.

I'd recommend this to anyone interested in Shakuhachi or if you just want some meditational style music.

As it says on the package.......2007-04-07

For anyone curious about Shakuhachi music, this is a great place to start. Traditionally this is a contemplative music, played alone or with a very small audience, hence it is devoid of crowd pleasing flourishes, allowing the listener to focus in on tiny subtleties. The first couple of tracks feature a longer and deeper sounding shakuhachi, rarely heard but possibly even more hauntingly beautiful than the standard sized instrument.
This was originally released on vinyl from a 1976 recording, so at 34 minutes it's rather a short CD, the recording is excellent, capturing every nuance.

music for meditation, comtemplation and regeneration.......2007-01-17

I first became interested in Japanese music through watching the films of Akira Kurosawa. His movies are as much an auditory as visual experience. He incorporates music from the traditional Japanese Noh theatre into his 'jidaigeki' (period drama) films. It is this music, perhaps more then the scenery which transports you to a different time and age. Noh music is very simple combing flutes and drums. Noh is a very minimalist form of theatre. only a bare minimum for the aesthetic stage and music allows the viewer to focus in on the performer and the drama upon them. By minimizing the art you see more. Shakuhachi takes this minimizing effect further by only presenting flute music and the outcome is inspirational. This music defies explanation, it is very simple yet concurrently extraordinarily complex for it can combine emotion of solitude and contemplation with joy and compassion. I cannot currently recommend any other music which allows one to look deep into oneself and at the same time feel joined with the greater world. Highly recommended for anyone looking for music to relax, meditate, think, and understand the larger world around them.

Shakuhachi - The Japanese Flute.......2007-01-12

This was one of the first Japanese traditional music cds I wanted. If you watch a lot of kung foo movies, you will recognize this sound as it is usually played during a meditation or at the beginning of a fight scene.

This is a great cd if you wanting to relax or it would be great to play during dinner as a subtle background music.

If you are wanting something more upbeat, I highly suggest the "Japanese Taiko" with Joji Hirota.

Wonderful--peaceful.......2006-11-10

I'm no expert on the Japanese flute, but I do know that this is a wonderful CD.

Traditional Japanese Flute Music.......2000-08-31

Very Good album and worth buying if you're in search of an inner sanctuary. I often play this after a day at work and find listening very soothing and helpful to unwind. Just turn on a tabletop fountain, light some scented candles and let yourself escape!

Soothing and Melodic.......2002-06-23

Anyone looking to expand their musical tastes and calm the savage beast inside then this is mustard - let the flute caress your mind and take you to places where you only visit in sleep...ok that's a bit deep but it does wash over you - not the best Japanese music ever but very very cool. Recommended stress buster!
