Kiku Day speaks with Araki Kodo VI

Kiku Day speaks with Araki Kodo VI, . Hanz Araki or Hanz Araki-Campbell. It is a fascinating glimpse into the world of a shakuhachi legacy in modern times with a cross-cultural aspect. It is a touching narrative of the transmission of a traditional musical style from father to son. At the same time it is also a very honest and open narration of the joys and pains of being at the centre of attention of such important traditional musical stronghold and experiences on a personal level. We came around the transmission method Hanz learned under. The difficulty of being half Japanese - not only in shakuhachi but also in Irish music, I cannot thank Hanz Araki enough for being so kind and open when answering all my questions.
