Kifu Mitsuhashi

Kifu Mitsuhashi is a master shakuhachi player keeping Japan’s bamboo flute tradition alive while stretching its boundaries. Known for his technical brilliance and soulful interpretations, he’s become a key figure in both preserving classical honkyoku (Zen meditation pieces) and collaborating with modern composers like Akira Nishimura and Teizo Matsumura. His extensive discography – including the *Art of the Shakuhachi* series and genre-blending albums like *Piazzolla·Shakuhachi·Universe* – shows his knack for making this ancient instrument feel fresh, whether he’s diving into avant-garde works or crafting meditative soundscapes. When he’s not recording or performing globally, Mitsuhashi shares his expertise as a teacher, ensuring the shakuhachi’s haunting tones continue to resonate with new generations.
