History (Tokuyama Takashi):
| The komuso are traditionally monks who visit neighborhoods and collect alms. They signal their arrival by playing the shakuhachi. They are most easily recognized by a large bamboo basket which they wear over their heads which symbolizes humility and anonymity. While standing before a Zen temple, the komuso plays this short piece three times beckoning the priest (Yobibue). If the priest is present, he responds by playing the oteki. |
