Tokuyama Shakuhachi Sheet Music

Takashi Tokuyama
Shakuhachi Honkyoku Sheet Music
(In Kinko Ryu Notation)

Takashi Tokuyama is the founder of the Tokuyama Honkyoku Kai in Tokyo. He has traveled throughout Japan researching and transcribing honkyoku, some of which are rare and known only to a few surviving players. Tokuyama has published many of the oldest known pieces of "original" shakuhachi music. His sheet music series comes in three sets which correspond to the degree of complexity and order in which the pieces are learned by students at his school. All music is written in the Japanese cursive style and comes with an English translation of Tokuyama's notes on fingering, breath and chin technique.

Now available! 5 CDs of Tokuyama's Honkyoku that include several of the titles listed below.
