Honkyoku

Honkyoku

Honkyoku (本曲, "original pieces") are the pieces of shakuhachi or hocchiku music played by mendicant Japanese Zen monks called komusō. Komusō played honkyoku for enlightenment and alms as early as the 13th century. Honkyoku is the practice of suizen ("blowing Zen"). The Fuke sect which originated this practice ceased to exist in the 19th century, but a verbal and written lineage of many honkyoku continues today, though the music is now often practiced in a concert or performance setting.

There are many ryū, or schools, of honkyoku, each with their style, emphasis, and teaching methods.

Kinko Ryū

In the 18th century, a komusō named Kinko Kurosawa of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism was commissioned to travel Japan and collect these musical pieces. Although it is commonly thought that the 36 pieces of the Kinko Ryū Honkyoku repotoire were collected and played by Kinko Kurosawa, in fact these pieces as currently played were significantly changed and codified by later generations, including Miura Kindo and others.
