This is a piece of genre Koten from the Taizan Ha School.
History (Tokuyama Takashi):
| The southern island of Kyushu is one on the founding places of koten honkyoku. Kyushu-reibo is said to have come from Icchoken temple in Hakata. This temple, as well as the island of Kyushu in general, was home to many komuso. During the Edo era, many wandering komuso would stay at these temples, exchanging different pieces and shakuhachi techniques. Gradually, a distinctive fingering technique developed that is now associated with the shakuhachi music that contains the word "reibo" in the title. Fukozenji was a monk of the temple of Ichyokenji. His duties included ringing the bell to announce different functions of the temple. It is said that Fukozenji composed Kyushu-reibo by concentrating on the image or spirit of the temple bell. |
