about

Shingetsu (Heart Moon) - One of the more gentle Honkyoku, or original pieces, played by Zen monks.

Yamagoe (Over The Mountain) - A bit of an aggressive Honkyoku, meant to depict something like those times when one has to make a push to get over the mountain

Shika no Tone (Distant Cry of Deer) - One of the few Honkyoku duets (though played as a solo version here), it contains a number of the standard techniques specific to shakuhachi that people may have heard if they've heard any shakuhachi Honkyoku.

Kaigarabshi - A gentle Min'yo, or folk song, associated with fishing on the Sea of Japan.

Esashi Oiwake - A flowing, rhythmically free form, Min'yo from northern Japan.

Soran Bushi - A pretty rowdy Min'yo that is a fisherman's work song.
