Murasaki no Kyoku / Murasaki Reibo on the hitoyogiri

This is the Myoan version of Murasaki no Kyoku, attributed to Ikkyu Zenji. In this version, unlike the Jin Nyodo and other versions, there are no half-tones; in other words, it fits perfectly with the hitoyogiri classical tonality.
If you want to know more about the hitoyogiri, you can check out my other videos, or visit my website at www.hon-on.com.
I'm also starting a hitoyogiri class online early next year, where we'll explore the ancient Muromachi-era classical sounds of the hityogiri. My friend Shawn Head will be participating and helping, lending his knowledge of Shomyo chant to help us get a picture of the time's sonic landscape as we experience these ancient melodies.
For the class, I've also developed a low-cost hitoyogiri based on the Muromachi and Edo-era tuning and feel. It's coated in urushi and is decorated with "On-Myo," "The cry of the monkey," in pure gold - a reference to the origin story of the hitoyogiri, which identifies the ethereal cry of the Golden Monkey as the origin of the flute's sound.
You can find the hitoyogiri for sale on Shawn's site here:
