The flute Mr. Fukuda is playing is a 1.8 shakuhachi, pitch of D with all holes closed. The first piece he plays is Shika no Tone (Distant Cry of Deer), a traditional Zen piece from the Kinko school. This piece is often played by two shakuhachi placed far apart on the stage, or even different parts of the hall, to emulate the sound of deer in the forest. The second piece (after the excellent Jiuta piece by his wife) is a modern piece written for shakuhachi in 1996 by Kaneta. Excellent video...
It's difficult for a non-player to understand just how much skill is exercised in this video. It's absolutely mind-boggling how talented this player is. Years of incredibly hard work and dedication.

yeah right, every bit of sound seems placed for a very specific reason... I've tried once to blow in one of these flutes that one friend introduced to me, I tried for at least one hour to make even one note, I couldn't XD it's a very specific technique... can't imagine how much work this man put into his music

Took me about a month to figure out to make a noise, then a couple others to control my breathing. The mind and body stuff is pretty real in playing the shakuhachi.

Sounds like a typical Japanese person. And i mean that in a positive way they work VERY HARD in whatever craft they put their mind and willpower behind! And they STICK to it! For life!
the beauty of the notes not played is even more frightening.. like the lush snow on mount Fuji ..its force yet gentle way caress the inner soul....

Je retrouve ici avec bonheur la mélodie simple et âpre de ce shakuhachi qui m'avait fait tant de bien dans ma jeunesse (années 80!). Son âpreté-même est tellement méditative! Tout superflu s'éloigne, elle va droit à l'essentiel, sans fioritures. Elle ne me quittera plus! Merci infiniment. de l'avoir postée. Le chant également, que je découvre, est pure beauté. Peut-il y avoir pure beauté ou état méditatif sans une certaine âpreté, une vraie simplicité?
I love that a culture that presents itself as reserved and stoic and equanimity has such powerful and passionate music. It's as if the Japanese people hold so much emotion within themselves that they can only express it through intense arts. Thank you!

Sure, this is proper Japanese Shahukachi music played by a Maestro of his craft. Good technically. Both the sound quality and the cinephotography are masterful. What more can one say? Simply OUT OF THIS WORLD. The longer one listens to it, the more masterly does the music sound. The singer is equally good. Both give perfect renditions of the music. FLAWLESS PERFORMANCES INDEED! This is a proper suite with the Shakuhachi player playing the 3rd movement. This indeed is music of the highest order.

Really really like. Personally, l think 尺八 is much much much more touching than many instruments such as piano, harmonica, or guitar, etc. Actually, 尺八, the Chinese ancestors played it only for the internal themselves, not for pleasuring other people。Many western music instruments are played more for the audience, for the show, not for themselves. Now, young boys, they play guitar 80% just for show, for cool, for girls' eyes, not for the true love of music 😂. Don't forget our east old 尺八~~.Japanese ancestors also have high level and deep realm on 尺八 . I like 尺八 very much ❤️~。千年风雅 ~。天地 ~。空~。静~。灵~。清~。人 ~。和 ~。

Si la flauta de bambú pudo llegar con anterioridad a Japón, trazas escritas prueban su manejo a partir del siglo VII, formando parte de los instrumentos de la música Gagaku durante las representaciones de la corte. Mas, tras evanescerse la débil flauta, no fue hasta el siglo XIII que llegaría el Shakuhachi. Él dio a la música japonesa carácter y virtud, señalando al soplo depurado como vía de conocimiento. « La gloria y la deshonra no existen, lo importante es dejar correr su voluntad y liberar a su ánimo de arrepentimientos » (Xi Kang). Durante un tiempo aciago, la escucha del Shakuhachi resultó un buen modo de saberme polvo sideral… salmodia que lleva el eco y se desdobla en las esferas al modo de voces que hizo suyas el Tao inicial. El maestro Teruhisa Fukuda ofrece una escueta muestra de la fuerza que emana de un instrumento arduo, al modo de la voz solitaria que se enfrenta a los demontres en busca de sí misma. A su vez Shihô Kineya, virtuosa del shamisen (laúd), discípula del compositor Seiho Kineya, brinda un canto acompañada de las cuerdas de temple arisco, como recio es el camino de la virtud. Uno y otra en solitario, ofrecen un ejemplo de música japonesa despojada de ornamentos superfluos, pura monofonía. «Algunos musicólogos japoneses que abordaron la estética se su música, como Kikkawa Eishi (1984), sostienen que la esencia de la música japonesa es no solo la homofonía sino la monofonía en el sentido más estricto, es decir que esta música debe cantarse por una sola voz y tocarse por un solo instrumento. En esta perspectiva, el color tonal representa una categoría estética esencial, que solo puede apreciarse plenamente cuando la música es monofónica e interpretada en solo» (Andreas Gutzwiller, Cahiers d’ethnomusicologie, 6/ 1993).
