This episode of Traditions for the Future is about the Shakuhachi.
Born in Tang Dynasty, China, and brought to Japan, the Shakuhachi subsequently acquired its current shape between late Kamakura period and Edo period.
Its name derives from its length of one shaku eight sun.
In this episode, we visited Mamino Yorita, shakuhachi player.
Born in Kyoto, she entered the world of shakuhachi when she was nine years old, and became the youngest ever Master.
She is a young successor of a tradition, actively participating in festivals overseas in Europe and elsewhere.
