Tomoe Kaneko Shakuhachi Performance

Acclaimed Shakuhachi (Japanese end-blown flute) performer Tomoe Kaneko performed at Wittenberg University in April 2005. I was able to record part of the formal and informal performances. Enjoy, and please leave comments on your opinion on the Shakuhachi. I do not think it is a very well known instrument.

@xyrules666 Japanese culture as we know it now is the result of the mix of foreign influences and their native culture existant before being in contact with the continent.

Korean culture is also heavily influenced by Chinese culture. Even China has been influenced by Japanese and Korean cultures.

Regardless of this fact, China, Japan and Korea are different cultures.

Just look at Europe and how those countries influenced each other so heavily through history.

@snillocgrom well, whatever, it does never change the fact most of japanese or probably 100% korean culture were just shittty copies of Chinese ancient culture.

@Alusnovalotus More or less. the characters for zither is the same character in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. But it's pronunciation varies. The instruments themselves also differ. Think norwegian hardanger and the violin. Both are essentially fiddles. The koto has less strings then the guzheng. But Guzhengs from 1000 years ago looked the same as kotos....it's like the baroque versions vs the modern versions in some sense.

so... its all different names for the same instruments?!?!?!?!
