Dear Eiryuu

Thankyou so much for introducing  the recorded sounds of the shakuhachi masters of the past to the forum.  This is a priceless resource.  Wonderful.

Amazing site; thank you very much for putting that together.  I have also added it to my link list and to the shakuhachi search engine!

That is superb!!  Thank you for setting up that site.  Could I use one of those recording on my website?  I will put a link to your site with that banner.

Thank you for a lot of comment. You may reprint it somewhere.
Let's introduce one site where it seems that it is significant.
http://www.musicon.co.jp/honkyoku.htm
The player is Naoki Koorikawa.
"Shirabe", "Sagariha" and "Matsukaze" are Kinpuu-ryu.
He played them by 2-shaku jinashi.
"Tsuruno-sugomori" and "Reibo" are told by Genkichi Onodera.
"Sugomori" played by old 1.7-shaku and "Reibo" by present 2-shaku.
"Sanya" is Jinbo-sanya. Played by 2-shaku.
"Kyorei" is Meian-ryu or Myouan-ryu. Played by 2.7-shaku.

Has there been more than one Onodera Genkichi ? (Jin Nyodo notes on an ISS page list one particular Onodera's death at 1925)

The recordings on Eiryuu's site which intrigue me most (there are so many great pieces) are those listed as by Yokoyama Ranpo and a (young?) Watazumi.

On the second site listed, who plays Jinbo Sanya and Kyorei?

Thank you very much, Eiryuu, for sharing these valuable recordings!

Thank you again, Eiryyu.

So if I understand this right,  Onodera Genkichi (1859-1928) was a komuso. He was earlier in the same lineage as Uchiyama Reigetsu (1909 - 19??).  Uchiyama Reigetsu was also a contemporary of Jin Nyodo (1891-1966)

Okamoto Chikugai (1915-2000) was both a teacher to Mitsuhashi Kifu and Korikawa Naoki. Okamoto Chikugai has also been credited as having influence upon Watazumidoso.

Hi Chris. You know a lot than me.

Thank you, Eiryuu. I am certain that I do not know more than you, but I am just piecing together information I got from Riley Lee's research and International Shakuhachi Society. I am very interested in the relationships of one historical player to another in shaping styles ansd schools.

Your recent posting was my very first instroduction to Naoki Koorikawa and your earlier postings of Ranpo and Watazumi and Rando were extraordinary and so valuable.
