This piece, together with “Tsuru no Sugomori,” is considered to be one of the two greatest secret pieces. Kinko Kurosawa learned Kinko Ryu Shakuhachi Honkyoku “Shika no Tone” from Ikkeishi zen master of Shojuken, and its expression is subtly different from this piece. As the poem by Sarumaru Dayu, one of the Thirty Six Poetic Sages, contained in the Hyakunin Isshu reads, “Autumn at its saddest - rustling through the leaves and moving on alone, deep into the mountains, I hear a lonely stag belling for his doe,” this piece interweaves the deer and autumnal moods, representing scenes deep in the mountains in a richly poetic manner.
The official title of this piece is “Nagasaki Shojukenden Yobikaeshi Shika no Tone.” It comes in a duo version in which two players perform together, and a solo version performed by one player.
