About Me |
|
| Hanzaburo Araki was born December 7, 1970 in Middletown, Connecticut
where his father, Kodo Araki V, was "Artist in Residence" at Wesleyan
University. Much to his later consternation he lumbered with the
difficult-to-pronounce and antiquated name of his great-great-grandfather
Hanzaburo Araki (Kodo Araki II), the most famous name in shakuhachi
history. It was he who brought this simple, bamboo flute out of the
Zen temples, where it was used for meditation, into the popular world
of chamber music.
For Hanz, as he is popularly called, the name turned out to be prophetic as his natural gift for playing this difficult and esoteric instrument revealed itself at an early age. His father, not wishing to force upon him a career that had been passed down through five generations of family, did not begin his instruction until he was in his seventeenth year. Just four months later he made his debut in Japan, a feat practically unheard of and the word genius was on everyone's lips. He has continued to perform in various concerts in Japan and the United States and also taught at Japan's prestigious Keio University for the shakuhachi society. |
