The Shakuhachi 5
《Prolfile》
A shakuhachi group that transcends the schools formed by Akihito Obama, Kizan Kawamura, Reison Kuroda, Akihisa Kominato and Ken-ichi Tajima, musicians who pursue contemporary expression as well as the classics in their ongoing activities. In 2020 they recorded and released an online performance of the work “Longing from afar,” which they worked on remotely together with the work’s composer Dai Fujikura, who conducted the online performance. The performance represented the group’s debut in a real sense. Subsequently, we commissioned and premiered “Shakuhachi Five” (Dai Fujikura), “Sara Soju” (Akira Nishimura), and “Kannon Anatomy” (Misato Mochizuki).
