History (from Miyata Kohachiro)
This lovely popular tune was adapted by Fujita for the nagauta dance version heard here. Ordinarily, a vocalist
is featured, but for this recording his part has been omitted in order to spotlight the delicate relationship between flute and shamisen-particularly appropriate, since the text of the song describes how the flute serves as an expressive outlet for a lonely lover.

Ataka no Matsu appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Ensemble Nipponia - Kabuki and other Traditional Music  (Listen)
