Inspired by the thread on Celtic music, I was wondering if anyone else here listens to traditional Japanese music (koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, etc.).
I do not have a whole lot in my collection - just an album by the Ensemble Nipponia and another my shakuhachi player Kohachiro Miyata (who is a member of the EN). Really good stuff, if you have a taste for it. The traditional vocals are probably the most difficult to get into, but I like it myself.

"But even as Josue and Caleb declared that the Land of Promise was good and fair, and that the possession of it would be easy and pleasant; so the Holy Spirit, speaking by all the Saints, and our Blessed Lord Himself assure us that a devout life is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life." - from
