Visitors from China

A couple of weeks ago, maybe less, I met a guy Liu Xi, who works as a translator for Chinese visitors. It is a bit more complex than that though. I met him via Jonen-san a monk at Komyoji temple. I have spoken of him before here. He was out doing Takuhatsu in Nara, playing shakuhachi. A group from China heard him playing and stopped to listen, he then spoke with them. This group was followers of…

Salarymen doing their morning workout was a surprise sight when we arrived in Nara. After that, a beautiful park, dears moving freely everywhere around, a huge Buddha statue, a vivid market and the first takuhatsu monk we encountered in Japan. The ‘all you can eat’ yakiniku ath the end of the day was a delight!

Buddha Enso (top), Dragon Enso (middle), and Mind Enso (bottom) by Kasumi Bunsho

“Kasumi Bunsho was an important and prolific Zen calligrapher. Bunsho's work was influenced by two major Zen teachers: Nantembo (1839–1925) and Deiryu (1895–1954). In particular, he shared Nantembo's fondness for the subject of lines of monks, wearing their large circular hats, going out on their begging rounds. This begging practice (takuhatsu) is intended to instill humbleness and gratitude in the monks, and give lay people the opportunity to practice generosity. Kasumi Bunsho literally enlarged this subject by painting what might be considered murals on the walls of Kaisei-ji, which serve as a constant reminder of the importance of takuhatsu.”

薦僧の実態を知る！vol.3

薦僧が吹いた尺八は一体どれ？

〈中世において尺八を吹く職能と芸能者たちの関係〉などを紐解きます♪

チラシの尺八の変容の図について

ご質問を頂いたので簡単に説明いたします。

西暦600年頃

３つの節、６つの指孔の「古代尺八（Ancien Shakuhachi）」が中国から伝わる。

（栗原廣太著「尺八史孝」より）

実物は正倉院などに保管されています。

西暦1400年頃

１つの節、５つの指孔の一節切（Hitoyogiri）へと変化。

古代尺八は衰退。

その後、一節切に根っこ部分が加わった形の笛が現れる。こちらは一般的ではないため、現在知っている人は殆どいないと思われます。

「傍廂（かたひさし） 」

斎藤 彦麻呂著（ 1768-1854）の随筆に「托鉢笛（Takuhatsu Flute）」（左）と書かれている。右側の絵は「短笛」と書かれているが、形状は一節切（Hitoyogiri）ですね。

こちらについては次回の古典尺八楽愛好会で詳しくやります♪

（国立国会図書館より）

西暦1500年頃

３つの節、５つの指孔の「三節切（Miyogiri）」現れる。

薦僧、虚無僧が所持。

西暦1600年頃

７つの節、５つの指孔の「普化尺八（Fukeshakuhachi）」現れる。元禄以降は殆どこの尺八が主流になり今に至ります。

以上、尺八変容でした🎵

JAPAN FACT 1- Common Religion

The majority of Japan doesn’t believe in one specific religion, however they usually combine aspects of several religions into their everyday lives.

A lot of modern Japanese people consider themselves not to be religious but do continue to follow certain tradings and ways of behaving which gives japan and the majority of Asia to have the unique aesthetic compared to Western countries.

Anjikan and SuiZen = Esoteric Ro SuiZen, p.1

In previous posts, I spoke of my Pilgrimage to Mt. Koyasan in Wakayama, Japan. The purpose was twofold, to experience Shingon Anjikan meditation and to revisit another temple I stayed at a couple of years ago, to recharge my Spirit. While experiencing Anjikan I came upon the idea of how to adapt some of the techniques, and philosophy to Shakuhachi SuiZen. Many theory’s are floating around about…

ZenCafe – April 23’

Outside the temple,Shakuhachi’s haunting notes,Komuso’s soul soars. So many things one makes plans and imagines but does not often go that way. Life really is all about adapting to the flow. In sailing one adjusts their sails to with wind. My plan was to start at the temple for my monthly Duty. I was to have a Tai Chi class in the morning, then progress on to doing Takuhatsu in front of the…

仮に何の反応もしない僧侶がいたとしても、怒りの気持ちは抱かないでほしい。 せっかくの尊い布施が、布施でなくなってしまう。 前述したように布施という概念は少々特殊で、施主（施しをする側）のためであるという考え方が存在するため、何も言わない僧侶がいたとしても、それは傲慢な態度とはちょっと違うのだ。
