Sun - Moon Shakuhachi : Nakamura Akikazu
This was my first piece for Shakuhachi (48.5 cm) and was composed in 1979. I was fascinated by the mysterious instrument whose clean and pure sound struck me as the essence of Buddhism. When I heard the Shakuhachi, I imagined a calm silence (serenity) on earth long before there was any sound.
