発祥 (John Singer):

This is an original piece of Ichigetsu-Ji Temple (the main Fuke Shu temple of Edo). Kinko Kurosawa I took this music and added it into his repertoire of Honkyoku pieces. Today "Yugure No Kyoku" cannot be found in other Shakuhachi schools.

It is said that this is one of the rare poetic pieces of the Kinko Ryu Honkyoku and that its melody is very emotional in nature

Play ButtonSui Zen - Blowing Meditation on the Shakuhachi - 04 尺八 : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin
The title, Yugure No Kyoku, means tune of the evening, or "sunset piece." It provides a musical impression of
the sound of the Evening Bell of the Chio-In (or Chioin) Temple in Kyoto, expressing the komuso's solitary nature with no wife, no children, and no thoughts.

The bell at Chio-In is traditionally rung 108 times on New Year's Eve, to ring out the 108 sins of mankind.

The writing on the left of Kurahashi Yodo' s transcribed sheet music indicates that this piece was written in Kyoto, but there are conflicting thoughts about whether it was actually from Tokyo. Kinko Kurasawa supposedly got his version from the priest Hanrin at Ichigetsu Ji Temple, which was the main Fuke Shu temple in Edo, the city that now is Tokyo.

The origin of the piece could be important because traditionally, honkyoku from Kyoto are played using traditional forms; pieces from Tokyo can use more "modem" sounds.

The piece has a melancholy feeling until the high notes are reached. We can assume that this depicts transcendence of the world's sins. Although this piece has a religious theme, it was actually performed for entertainment, not meditation.
Play ButtonWind in the Reeds 尺八 : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin
The title of this honkyoku means "Evening Song", and the music describes the slow, rolling sound of the famous bell at Chioin Temple of Kyoto, as is heard at the end of the day.
