About "Tsugaru Yama Uta "
This shot during the practice of shakuhachi in my studio. I am playing Tsugaru Mountain Song, this is Min'yo type of music and belongs to the style of Iwao Yoneya sensei.He was one of the best friends of my teacher Kohachiro Miyata.

The "Tsugaru Mountain Song" was sung by woodcutters in the mountains, but in the late 1800s its beauty and dignity led to its use at banquets and celebrations.
