根笹派大音派錦風流尺八The Kinpu-ryu Shakuhachi Honkyoku-den is complete! You can purchase a copy here. Take a look at these two videos - one on Kinpu-ryu and breathing, and one demonstrating "Shirabe." Kinpu-ryu Intangible Cultural Treasure Holder, Dr. Yamada, on Kinpu-ryu and breathing. 調 (Shirabe), played by Dr. Yamada. Nezasaha Ohneha Kinpu-ryu Shakuhachi, or just Kinpu-ryu for short, is a unique school of shakuhachi native to the Tsugaru region of Japan, in the modern day city of Hirosaki. It is characterized especially by a breathing technique called komibuki, which has taken various shapes, often quite different from the original, in other areas of Japan as well as in Europe, Australia, the U.S., and other locations. The primary aim of this website is to provide materials for those interested in Kinpu-ryu shakuhachi, so that they can get a taste of both the historical and present conditions/characteristics of the school, especially as it exists in Hirosaki, Japan. Any comments, thoughts, discussion, etc. are more than welcome. |
