1	Shakuhachi Shijusokyoku Dai Ichiban	尺八四重奏曲　第一番	09'50	尺八: 山本邦山尺八: 二世池田静山尺八: 二世北原篁山尺八: 横山勝也
	This quartet was composed for three small-sized Shakuhachi, about one foot and six inches long, and one large-sized Shakuhachi, about two feet and one inch long, in concise style.
2	Ten'i	天為	06'17	尺八: 山本邦山
	This Shakuhachi solo was composed in traditional "Honkyoku" style. Hozan Yamamoto told about the motif as follows : "Bamboo, grown up in barren soil, is made to Shakuhachi by high human technique. When I am impressed by naive tone of Shakuhachi, I am reminded of human power which conquered nature by natural way. I tried to express in this composition a wonderful world of human beings creating something by law of nature, as the saying is “Heaven has no mouth, and speaks through human lips."
3	Ohgi		08'54	尺八: 谷田嵐山尺八: 二世池田静山尺八: 守良勝尺八: 小畠凛山尺八: 酒井師山尺八: 井藤麗山尺八: 山本邦山尺八: 今瀬苔山尺八: 難波竹山
	Three parts are played by regular-sized Shakuhachi, about one foot and eight inches long. Two to four players are arranged in each part. This composition is colored by fascinating atmosphere.
4	In'yoku	陰陽句	12'13	尺八: 酒井師山尺八: 坂田誠山尺八: 二世池田静山尺八: 山本邦山尺八: 沢井三山
	This composition is classified into two parts, one impromptu solo part in classical "Honkyoku" style, and another duo part (including trio, quartet, and quintet) in crisp rhythm and folk· song-like melody. Various forms appear alternately, e.g. after solo part follows duo part, then follows quintet part and so forth. Major scale and minor scale are clearly contrasted in this composition.
5	Tsuido - Shakuhachi Duet 1	尺八二重奏曲「対動 (ついどう)」1	09'00	尺八: 宮田耕八朗尺八: 山本邦山
	This is a functional composition with a light and happy and bright theme. It looks as if two Shakuhachi were playing about joyfully. There are three movements, the 1st high, the 2nd low, and the 3rd high tempo.
