Soundscapes of Japan

• About The Show Soundscapes Of Japan

Japanese shakuhachi master Kakizakai Kaoru will perform shakuhachi. Shakuhachi

dates back to the 7th Century and was used by Zen priests in Japan as a sacred

instrument to reach enlightenment. In the early 1970’s the first westerners started to

travel to Japan to learn the sacred music of the shakuhachi called honkyoku.

Honkyoku means literally original piece. Honkyoku are musical pieces, actually

sound landscapes, without rhythm and without melody. They are a translation of

meditation experiences of monks into sound.

• Featuring

Japanese shakuhachi master Kakizakai Kaoru will perform on one of the most

ancient root-ended bamboo flutes of Japan: the shakuhachi. The show also features

event host.
