I found an interesting piece of notation for a honkyoku called Hokyo sanya kyoku.
I also found some information about the piece in Japanese. I roughly translated it:
"It is one of the sanya (三谷)shakuhachi classical honkyoku pieces, said to have been passed down in the Myoan-Shinpo ryu school (Myoanji in Kyoto),
however it is not seen in those passed down by Katsuura Shôzan.
The rooster phoenix 鳳 and the hen phoenix called 凰 from ancient times are regarded as auspicious and divine birds.
The similarly named Hokyo koku (鳳叫虚空) of the Taizan school is a separate piece."
At first when I saw the piece I thought, oh it is another title for Hokyo Koku, then when I compared the pieces they are very different.
I found the notation in an old collection of notation by Yamagami Tsukiyama (山上月山).
Anyone know if there are any recordings out there of this one? I'd be very interested in hearing played.
Also if anyone wants, I hand-wrote it out and can scan it to put on here if it would be okay. What do you think?
