Shakuhachi

Born into a merchant family in Osaka in 1892, Sakai Masayoshi began teaching himself shakuhachi at the age of 13.
At 18, he was introduced to Fujita Shōchō of the Shōchō school (a branch of the Sōetsu school), and began his career the following year under the stage name Shōdō.
He took on the professional name of Chikuho and established the Chikuho-ryū in 1917 after a dispute with his teacher.
Sakai wrote his own shakuhachi scores based on the Sōetsu style notation, and from the early Showa era (1926-1989), he was involved in a revolutionary movement in hōgaku (traditional Japanese music).
At the same time, he studied Meian Shinpō-ryu under Katsuura Shōzan and Unkai Minimoto, and worked to popularize the classics.
Sakai was a director of the Osaka Sankyoku Kyōkai and president of the Tōyō Ongaku Kyōkai.
He retired in 1967 and took the name Chikuo.
In 1969 he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun.
Sakai Chikuo passed awya in 1984.
