about

History:
Each of the famous Komuso had his own individualistic way of playing this piece. It is an improvisational piece which is said to have been played when the Komuso were doing takuhatsu (religious mendicancy). Particularly when this piece was used by the Komuso on their pilgrimages it was called "sashi" in the common parlance. This work originated in Kyushu prefecture, where it was played by the famous Jinbo Masanosuke and was called Jinbo Sanka. It is said that this piece was transmitted orally under the name Ohshu Sashi.

The form of the work is in four parts: "shirabe" (investigation), "honte" (main part), "takane" (high pitch), "hachigaeshi" (playing a piece in return for food). This is a typical form for classical honkyoku, and in this short piece one can see clearly the distinctive qualities of the shakuhachi.
