TOZAN NAKAO composed this masterpiece of Tozan-ryu (the school of Tozan) at Iwashimizu- Hachimangu shrine in Kyoto in October 1904. This composition is mainly written for solo Shakuhachi, but the third movement is played by ensemble in two parts. The climax of the entire composition is the second movement which requires the interpreter varied techniques. The first movement features the autumnal appearance of Hachimangu shrine in a deep forest, the second movement the scene of spring water's streaming through rocks, and the third movement the scene of streamers' gathering to a river.
	Minyo of Tohoku	Shakuhachi : Takahashi Ryozan
In the middle of autumn the waters begin to swell in Japan and the waterfalls become quite spectacular. The moss on the rocks grows thicker, while the pale sunlight filters through the ancient trees which are losing their leaves. This piece is in three parts: the first one describes autumn deep in the mountains; the second evokes the cascade bounding over the rocks; the third conjures up the foamy waters which form a multitude of rivulets before finally flowing into the river.

The composer of this piece, T. Nakao, founded the Tozan school in 1904, the same year the Russian-Japanese war broke out. "Iwashimizu" was strongly inspired by the spring that flows in the garden of the Iwashimizu Shinto temple in Osaka, where the composer used to go ever since he was a child. He expresses in the music the feeling of deep peace that he used to experience there. This piece forms, with two others called "Kogetsu-cho" and "Kangetsu", a triptych that is considered as one of the most difficult works of the Tozan school, especially with regards to its spiritual content.
