Kinko Kurosawa (
Commissioned to travel around Japan to research and collect spiritual shakuhachi music pieces (honkyoku) from his fellow mendicant monks, Kurosawa is credited with helping shakuhachi music transition from a solely spiritual tool into music appreciated by a secular audience through his selection of 36 honkyoku chosen to form the shakuhachi repertoire of the Kinko-Ryu school to be played by its priests.[2]
Legacy
The Kurosawa crater on the planet Mercury is named for Kinko Kurosawa.[3]
Shika No Tone (Distant Calls of Deer), a honkyoku arranged by Kurosawa, is featured on the Memoirs of a Geisha soundtrack.[4]
