Kare San Sui appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Fascination of the Shakuhachi - 2  (Listen)	Yamamoto Hozan		Tomiyama Kiyotaka
Composed by YAMAMOTO Hozan as a duet piece for sangen and shakuhachi. Like the koto, both the sangen and shakuhachi can provide very delicate portamento and thus the two intruments share a similar flavor. This piece employs the whole range of sangen technique to emphasize a new fusion between the sangen and shakuhachi, putting importance on the beauty of Ma, or space. The piece develops as if telling a story, expressing stillness, psychological tension and the encounter between the two instruments. The sangen is played by TOMIYAMA Kiyotaka and the shakuhachi used here is a ni-syaku-kan (about 60-centimeter long).
