Morimasa Horiuchi plays the Taizan-ha honkyoku Choshi to the
accompaniment of the Myoanji Gong.
Originally used by the monks of the shakuhachi temple in Kyoto,
the gong fell into disuse after a ban of
the komuso by the Myoanji government in the 1860's. Its sound is heard again here after 150 years
of silence.
