Jia Senghe ~ Shakuhachi
竹道
The sounds of the shakuhachi are said to be like the freedom of wind, the fluidity of water, the intensity of fire and the subtlety of flowers and plants.
As a young man
I played bamboo flutes
that were made in southern India
But then I heard a shakuhachi
loud and clear as a morning bell
And my soul would not rest
until I learned.
