Not since " National Treasure" Yamaguchi Goro's rendition of Kinko Honkyoku music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His rendition of Honkyoku form the Watazumi style is incredible... His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson.” Hogaku Journal, Tokyo “One can hear already in a single tone the sound of the whole cosmos,” Mr. Hosokawa writes, adding that the instrument evokes “the sadness and beauty of the past.” Marco Lienhard, a Swiss-born master of the Shakuhachi, did ample justice to these suggestions.” JAMES R.
