"The shakuhachi is the Japanese end blown bamboo flute. The komosu (wandering priests) developed the instrument and music. They wore baskets on their heads and can still be occasionally seen on the streets of Japan."

"These landmark recordings made by Yokoyama Katsuya, the great master from Japan who introduced the shakuhachi to the world, cover every aspect of his art. (...) It reveals the limitless possibilities of the shakuhachi."
