Program note

​“虚空-Kokuu” means "open space, vacuity”  for “Akasha” in Sanskrit and a term in traditional Indian cosmology. It is not only a simple open space but also the place that transports sounds.

”虚空-Kokuu” in Shakuhachi music,it is understood as 
a Spiritual state of “nothingness”, limitless clear sky,  a mysteriously beautiful sound that you’ve never heard of.

According to the legend, the Zen monk “Kochiku”, who opened Myouann-ji in Kyoto, heard a mysteriously beautiful sound during his Shakuhachi training  journey. He composed this shakuhachi music to describe the sound.
The music has a simplicity and balanced musical beauty that sounds as if praying with “spiritual nothingness” facing an endless sky.
This “虚空-Kokuu" with “虚霊-Kyorei” and “霧海篪-Mukaij” are the three the most respected and the oldest traditional Shakuhachi musical compositions called “Koden sankyoku”.


虚空という言葉自体は、サンスクリットの「アーカーシャ」の漢訳で, 空間とか大気とかを意味する言葉です。地水火風と並び五大元素の一つとされ、特に単なる空間ではなく音響を伝達される場とされています。
尺八曲における「虚空」とは、何事にもこだわらない無の境地、そしてどこまでも遮るもののない澄み切った空、晴れわたった空のかなたから聞こえてくる妙音と解釈しています。

伝説によれば、京都明暗寺の開祖・虚竹禅師が、尺八の修行行脚の途中、夢の中に聞いた妙なる音を尺八に移したものと言われています。
飾り気のない素朴さの中に均整のとれた、はるか大空に向かって祈るような、一途な音楽美が込められています。​

「虚霊」「霧海篪」とあわせて古伝三曲と呼び、尺八最古の曲として古来、最も尊重されています。
