	Masters of Zen - Ugetsufu	尺八 : 菅原久仁義
The shakuhachi is an extremely refined instrument which as yet is still comparatively unknown. It is particularly difficult to find a substitute for the profoundness of the five-holed shakuhachi. As a specialist in Arabic music, I wanted to create something which only I was capable of composing for the shakuhachi, works with the subtleties of the traditional theoretical Arabic melodic patterns called maqam. This work combines these maqam with traditional shakuhachi techniques. - Jun Chikuma

"The shakuhachi is an extremely refined instrument which as yet is still comparatively unknown. It is particularly difficult to find a substitute for the profoundness of the five-holed shakuhachi. As a specialist in Arabic music, I wanted to create something which only I was capable of composing for the shakuhachi. I thought of combining the resonance and spirituality of the traditional shakuhachi works with the subtleties of the traditional theoretical Arabic melodic patterns called maqam. This work combines these maqam with traditional shakuhachi techniques."
