Zen Shakuhachi Duets

Zen Shakuhachi Duets

"Master shakuhachi musicians John Singer and Mizuno Kohmei perform seven of the rare Kinko Ryu honkyoku duets. Most of these were created by their teacher, the Grand Master and Living National Treasure, Yamaguchi Goro. This is the only recording of its kind. The Compact Disc includes a special duet version of Sokaku Reibo (Nesting Cranes)."
