Play ButtonYonin no Kai Shakuhachi : Kitahara Kōzan II
This is after a manner of folk songs of Japanese southern islands. It is made up of three parts, and three tunes of folk songs called "Asadoya-Yunta" "Tobaruma" and "Tanchame" are taken. The scale and melody peculiar to Ryukyu make this song very different from others.
