His first Lyrichord CD, Nyogetsu Seldin sumptuously plays seven traditional, and one original composition on several shakuhachis of different lengths. Ichi On Buttsu is a peerless collection of traditional shakuhachi performance, a disc which quite possibly demonstrates the most profound link between music and the ancient Eastern journey toward enlightenment.

The first piece Hifumi Hachigaeshi No Shirabe is a combination of two pieces, Hifumi No Shirabe (Introduction) and Hachigaeshi (Returning of the Bowl). The next two pieces Koku Reibo (A Bell Ringing in The Empty Sky) and Mukaiji Reibo (Misty Ocean Bell) are two of the most difficult and highly regarded of the Kinko Ryu Honkyoku pieces. And the fourth piece Yugure No Kyoku (Twilight Bell) is considered to be one of the most beautiful.
