This is a Modern piece . This piece was composed for shakuhachi by Neptune, John Kaizan in 1980 .

Sailing East appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Kite  (Listen)	Neptune, John Kaizan
I wrote this tune for an album called Shogun. That project featured me more as a composer than as a player, and I was looking for an opportunity to record this Japanese-flavored tune again featuring the shakuhachi. I think the 2.4 (bass) shakuhachi works well in this mellow setting with guitar and cello.
