Practice techniques for Kinpu-ryu Komi-buki

Komi-buki is one of the more conspicuous techniques of Kinpu-ryu, a school of shakuhachi native to my home, Hirosaki. This videos offers some suggestions for practicing and getting a feel for komi-buki.

Komibuki to get warm during the cold winter months in Hirosaki... Very practical indeed.
Makes me wonder which breathing technique I should use during the very hot summer months here in the south of France...? 🙂
Very beautiful flute... urushi up to the third node really works!

Hi, first of all, I would like to take the opportunity in thanking you for these videos that you have put up as they are always very enlightening. I very much enjoyed your videos about Edo and contemporary shakuhachi and this video is the best I've seen for demonstrating the 'komibuki' technique. I recently bought your translation of 'The Kinpu-Ryu Bible' and in the video you made before publication, you talk about the possibility of making videos explaining the scores. I do so very much hope that you will be able to do that.
