Beautiful and inspiring 🙏

Outstanding!!

Lovely!! So glad I found this. I have been learning this on both pipes and flute for a while and this version was just what I needed! Thanks!

I'm back again. This is truly a stellar performance! When do you breath? Your control of air is beyond comprehension. Bravo! Wow!

Very subtle beauty ✨️

Absolutely brilliant! Beautiful composition and played with such finesse! I loved this!! 🙏🎶❤️

I can not put into words how much I love this piece and even better that you composed it. I am looking forward to more!

What a beautiful, meditative composition, played masterfully. Well done Hanz!

🙏❤️🙏

A spellbinding composition and performance, both ancient and other-worldly. Totally unique in the present shakuhachi landscape in tonality and delivery. Thank you Hanz for sharing your authentic path and gift 🙏

Gorgeous. 🙂

諸行無常を感じます。合掌。

I love it. Thank you for sharing.

Perfection!

some serious, expressive perfection

Simply beautiful.

Hey bro it’s hapa josefu. Haven’t seen u for years but awesome tune and my little boys name is Ren!!

AICS is Wow!

What song is that at 18:09 ?

Fantastic. Like a tether to the ages

oh my! what a hauntingly beautiful composition !

Such a beauty. It's really beautiful. Is it possible to find or buy a score for this song?

What a delightful and informative video this is! A wonderful treat and so great to watch. I truly loved watching this! Thank you for sharing with us Hanz! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing such a special piece. The story about losing then finding it was very well written, I was touched by it. The music is exceptional. I shall listen again, thank you for making it available, for remembering it.

Beautiful stuff-I think I have a recording somewhere of my dad and I getting drunk in the kitchen…

Hanz, what an amazing find! I just read your blog post and am very moved. Was the photo of you and your father taken in Seattle? It looks like the Nippon Kan Theatre. All the best.

Beautiful music! Thank you! Can we have a bit more background info?

I'm so glad you found this. All three generations are participating. ❤

Hanz - love what you are doing here! Shakuhachi is such a haunting instrument!

I could feel the flavor of Nara's Tenpyo culture from their performances. It especially reminded me of Yakushiji Temple. It's very classy and wonderful. Thank you for letting me listen

Is it because the teacher warms up the shakuhachi before playing every morning because it's cold, or is it because if you do this every day, the instrument will become a better-sounding instrument?

Well played! I think it's a bit ironic how I found you through shakuhachi and I've now come full circle back to listening to you play trad!

Fascinating, I never heard this piece arranged for 2 shakuhachi

This is Honkyoku ? by Araki Kodo?

great playing

I recently learned this piece. And thank you for your video! It provided me another great perspective on how to decipher and understand this piece. 唄　三絃：間々田昇 箏：富樫妙子 尺八：六世　荒木古童

Thanks for posting this, Hanz. Incredible.

❤️

Loved it to see it yesterday on the online event, i had my eyes closed and enjoed it. Happy to see it online now! Thanks Hanz!

Masterful Hanz!

One word excellent. Even now, I earnestly desire to study the "Araki school." Also, I saw your other videos, and I was able to sense a much more orthodox flow in your performance than you might think.

Just WOW!

Proper 💎☘️🥂☘️💎

Thank you very much for sharing.

"shika no tone", my "ichiban" song forever! :-)

A very insightful interview - it’s so good to hear somebody speak from broad experience in and understanding of Japanese as well as Western culture.

Thank you for sharing these recordings - what great performances!

Very interesting interview of your father Hanz! I totally understand the point of a bombastic "ro". Other Kinko schools, as Chikumeisha do not use it. However, the "pip" sound I have heard so many times in Aoki Reibo II performance as well as Notomi Judo I. I personally think that that "pip" sound is interesting as a technical resource if done on purpose.
