I am sure it carries a sort of shinpo-ryu melancholic flavor. Shinpo-ryu Sanya is probably not known to many people? Personally, I've not come across any recording of this piece. I should write about it someday. It sounds a bit like nagauta and a sort of rainy reason music (the Japanese one, not tropical squall). Also, it is a long piece like nagauta: naga=long, uta=song. <br />It's been raining where I am. So it's a perfect music to listen to. (i only have a recording of my teacher's teacher playing the piece). <br />Cheers,KMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413435992711149025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619175471205427401.post-28020985505439660182009-12-27T19:12:54.443-08:002009-12-27T19:12:54.443-08:00Hi Kirsty, thanks for your message.
When offering...Hi Kirsty, thanks for your message. <br />When offering tamuke, I was reminded of Yokoyama's message that we often lack a clear intention in playing shakuhachi: why we play music? What honkyoku is good for? I was glad that I had a medium to express my sincere heart, something to offer, for someone important to me. You must have felt the same way for your grandfather. <br />(His current message is translated here: http://www.mejiro-japan.com/html/header_menu/info/live/e_live_main.htm). <br />BestKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413435992711149025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619175471205427401.post-68779258708737521482009-12-24T23:39:24.679-08:002009-12-24T23:39:24.679-08:00Hello my friend,
My condolences to you. I am glad ...Hello my friend,<br />My condolences to you. I am glad you got to play Tamuke for his spirit.<br />My favorite piece is Shinpo ryu Darani which has always felt like a Sanya to me. What do you think?<br />I am not sure why but I cannot find a Shinpo ryu Sanya on Komuso.com<br />I have never heard Shinpo ryu Sanya :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619175471205427401.post-58373634467022094372009-12-23T22:32:06.242-08:002009-12-23T22:32:06.242-08:00Koji-san,

My grandfather passed away recently too and I spent hours with Tamuke around the time of his passing with a sincere heart. I also like Sanya, the slow version, perhaps most of all the traditional pieces.<br />Best wishes, Kirsty.Kirsty Komusohttp://kirstybeilharz.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
