Shakuhachi is a traditional wind instrument made of bamboo. The name comes from the traditional measurement system. The length of Shakuhachi is 1 shaku and 8 sun (pronouncing “i-shaku-ha-sun”); 1 shaku is 30.3cm, sun is one-tenth of a shaku, and hachi is “eight” in Japanese. Thus, the name Shakuhachi means 1.8 shaku (approximately 54.5cm) which stands for the standard size of the instrument. Dozan Fujiwara, a shakuhachi virtuoso will present the wealth of tone colouring created by shakuhachi through subtle changes in pitches of the player’s blowing angle. A new shakuhachi piece commissioned to composer, Kyo Ichinose, will be performed by Dozan making its world premiere. There will be a lecture and a talk show on the history, present and future of shakuhachi.

Program and Lecturer
