吾妻 Azuma 🔈
Azuma belongs to group of pieces known as hirukara 昼から ("afternoon pieces") which have a lighter atmosphere than the formal pieces which were played during religious ceremonies (mostly in the morning, I suppose). They are also known as hade 派手 ("flamboyant") as opposed to honte 本手 ("original pieces").

In the recording presented here it is played by myself on a 2.3 Shakuhachi made by Sakurai Muteki the teacher of Monden Tekikū who was my own teacher. That Shakuhachi was often referred to as kuro 黒 ("black") by Monden Tekikū because the color of the bamboo is very dark, nearly black.
