You've GOT to be kidding me -- that score makes even Taniguchi's scores look legible!

There must be a mistake. I'd swear that's early Jackson Pollock.

Wow! It's beautiful!
Note most of the calligraphy is text for singing (or chant - not so sure as my calligraphy reading is not that good). The shakuhachi score is only the first 4 lines. It is the fu-ho-u score and not ro-tsu-re.
Chikuho-ryu is the only main school that transmit shakuhachi music using this notation system.

Yes, agreed! Fantastic source for us shakuhachi aficionados!

Re: Interesting Myoan blog with tons of photos

I can understand the value of memorizing versus reading notation back then when I look at that score!

I found these two statements below to be really interesting. Can anyone read the Kanji after "I play (3) "Kanji"?

Re: Interesting Myoan blog with tons of photos

Very nice blog,

my teacher also use this notation system. I often wonder about the roots of his stuff, he was a student in the Shoufukuji Zentemple.

All the best!!!
