Mountain Priest Playing the Shakuhachi!

Last year, during the autumn season, I visited the Murō-ji temple (室生寺) in Rural Uda, Nara-ken. At the entrance gate a Buddhist monk was playing the shakuhachi! The sound of the music and the colours of the leaves, together with the autumn atmosphere was a beautiful experience. The shakuhachi (尺八) is a Japanese end-blown flute. It was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 6th century and underwent a resurgence in the early Edo Period. The shakuhachi is traditionally made of bamboo. It was used by the monks of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism in the practice of suizen (吹禅, blowing meditation).
