Shakuhachi: The Zen Flute : (The Distant Call of the Deer) 尺八 Shika no Tone 鹿の遠音

On this unique occasion, the shakuhachi flute of the masters Kohachiro Miyata (1938) and Rodrigo Rodriguez (1978) perform a traditional work arranged in 1974 by Kohachiro Miyata. The Distant Call of the Deer and The Cranes Nesting are the most famous and notable shakuhachi pieces in the Mu-Ryu musical lineage.The piece's special effects call for a particular kind of audible breathing in which the melodic line is never lost. Often the work is heard as a duet for two shakuhachi, and it is not certain which version is the original. It is played here on the standard-sized instrument {this particular composition is rarely).
It is said that the piece was originally learned by Kurosawa Kinko (1710-71), founder of the Kinko school, of a Komuso priest named Ikkeishi.
