This is a Modern Honkyoku piece . This piece was composed for shakuhachi by Seldin, Ronnie Nyogetsu in 1995 .

San'ya (Ki Sui-An) appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Heart of Zen - Simplicity	Seldin, Ronnie Nyogetsu
Makoto Shinjitsu - with a heart of true sincerity  (Listen)	Seldin, Ronnie Nyogetsu
This original composition was composed in the Shakuhachi tradition of each school or line, having its own Sanya or Reibo, the two most popular types of Honkyoku. As such, it is a meditative piece as well as a healing piece. It is unusual in that there is a brief improvisation section -something not usually found in traditional Shakuhachi Honkyoku music. Sanya also refers to being unified in action, or to pure action from the heart, rather than from the head.
