Hōsan-kai Nov. 3rd 2024
Players at the November meeting 2024 of the Hōsan-kai 奉讃会 at Myōan-ji on Nov. 3rd Program of the Meeting At this year's November meeting we were blessed with the best of weather, a bright blue Japanese autumn sky. 45 players or groups from all the major Shakuhachi traditions did participate and they came from all over Japan (and one from Hong Kong). What was surprising was that the long and difficult piece Futa-ken-reibo was played 4 times from players from different groups. Some impressions Nyoi 如意 Composed by Miyagawa Nyozan 宮川如山 (1868-1946)
