Album Artist

Heart of Zen - Simplicity Shakuhachi : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin

Makoto Shinjitsu - with a heart of true sincerity Shakuhachi : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin
This original composition was composed in the Shakuhachi tradition of each school or line, having its own Sanya or Reibo, the two most popular types of Honkyoku. As such, it is a meditative piece as well as a healing piece. It is unusual in that there is a brief improvisation section -something not usually found in traditional Shakuhachi Honkyoku music. Sanya also refers to being unified in action, or to pure action from the heart, rather than from the head.
