Shakuhachi Meditation Music

Traditional Japanese Flute for Zen Contemplation by Stan Richardson. Over 700 years ago in Japan, Zen masters developed honkyoku, the art of blowing Zen, using only the pure tones of the simple bamboo flute for accompaniment.

Stan Richardson, a former member of Japan's Ki Sui An Shakuhachi dojo ensemble, plays these rare works in traditional style; 13 authentic selections with varying moods to still the mind and awaken attention.
