"Sugagaki" is a style of koto playing that originated in Gagaku (Imperial Court Music) which was popular about one thousand years ago. This song was made into a Kinko sect honkyoku by Kurosawa Kinko and is the Fudaiken transmission from Fudai Temple in Akita City in northern Japan. This piece has a typical Kinko style with much repetition and should be played strongly with precision.
