First performance in Japan

I will be performing in Japan this May.

This will be my first performance in Japan.

I started practicing Shinobue in Singapore and have been performing many times here, but I have never played Shinobue in my mother country.


The performance venue is Unryu-in , Temple (雲龍院) in Kyoto!



I'm so excited to perform in such a beautiful temple!


My Shinobue master and his disciples perform at Unryu-in every year and I will be joining them for the first time this year.

I'm going back to Japan only for this performance. I've already purchased a flight ticket and booked a hotel. fufufu :)

For the details of the performance, I will be posting later.

Cheers!

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog! Hi. My name is Yukako. I was born and raised in Osaka, Japan and now live in Singapore. In this blog, I will be posting about Shinobue（篠笛）, Japanese bamboo flute. I have another blog about Shinobue which is written in Japanese. If you can read Japanese, please have a look at this  too. ↓↓↓ ある篠笛好きのつぶやき-北緯一度から-  What is Shinobue? Shinobue is one of the Japanese traditional musical instruments which is played in Ohayashi (お囃子), Nagauta（長唄） and Minyo（民謡） ensembles. It is a bamboo-made flute with 6 or 7 holes and it has high-pitched sounds. Its pure, clear and rich sounds have been attracting people from old times. Having fallen in love with those sounds, I started practicing Shinobue in 2014. Fortunately, Singapore has given me some opportunities to perform though I am not a professional player. Also, I'm engaged in teaching Shinobue in the practice sessions to Singaporean Shinobue lovers. It's really interesting

My Shinobue

Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog! :) Today, I would like to introduce my Shinobue (篠笛). Brand: Miyako (京師） Type: koten-cho (古典調） Choshi: 6-hon (六本調子） Miyako's koten-cho Shinobue is basically tuned in 日本十二律 (Twelve-tone Japanese scale*) and fine adjustments are made to close its scales to the scales of flutes for Gagaku (雅楽: Ancient Japanese imperial court music ) such as Ryuteki (龍笛) and Kagurabue (神楽笛). *Regarding the translation for 日本十二律 , I tentatively described it as above. Currently, there is no appropriate translation for it on websites or books. I use this for playing Ohayashi (お囃子), Japanese festival music. It is most suitable for playing alongside Taiko (太鼓), Japanese drums as you can create very dynamic sounds with them.     Brand: Miyako (京師） Type: hogaku-cho (邦楽調)/uta-yo(唄用) Choshi: (from the top) 6-hon, 7-hon, 8-hon (六本調子、七本調子、八本調子） Miyako's hogaku-cho/uta-yo Shinobue is also tuned in  日本十二律 (Twelve-tone Japanes

Hibari (雲雀) , uta-yo Shinobue review 

"Hi, Yuka-san! I would like to buy a new uta-yo Shinobue. My budget is SGD 200. Could you advise me a good fue which I can buy within my budget? Thanks!" I have been asked this kind of question many times. As I mentioned in my post  " My Shinobue ", I am a Miyako (京師) user so I always push them to buy Miyako first. However, I can understand that some people have their own budget when they buy a Shinobue. So, today I will introduce a nice uta-yo Shinobue which you can buy at an affordable price. The name of the Shinobue that I would like to introduce is "Hibari" (雲雀) . 邦楽調 雲雀 hogaku-cho（uta-yo）Hibari from Ootuka Chikukan gakki Corp. 邦楽調　雲雀 / hogaku-cho (uta-yo) Hibari Manufacturer's details: 有限会社 大塚竹管楽器 Ootuka Chikukan gakki Corporation　 http://www.fueya.com "Hibari" is suitable for those people who; 1. want to purchase a real uta-yo (唄用) Shinobue which is tuned in Twelve-tone Japanese scale (日本十二律*). 2. are l
