Cultural Performamce: Shakuhachi Flute

The shakuhachi, an end-blown bamboo flute, is among the most recognizable of Japan’s traditional instruments. The instrument is associated with the Fuke sect of Zen buddhism in the practice of sui zen. Join us at the Cultural Corner from 1:15 – 2:30pm for a shakuhachi performance by Hanzaburo, Araki Kodō VI. The Araki Family has been playing and passing down the skills and traditions of Kinko-Ryu shakuhachi since the 19th century.
