Historia (Yokoyama Katsuya):

Azuma means East or Eastern Japan. This piece represents nostalgia for the home land by featuring the scenery and folklore of Azuma.

Like Kumoi Jishi it belongs to the category of Hate music.

The Komuso priest played Hate music in the afternoon, when he was free from the strict discipline of religion. Hence the alternative title of the piece Hirukara - Afternoon -.

Azuma-jishi (Lion Dance From The Azuma Region)

This is one of the various "Lion Dance" pieces which are executed on the occasion of the Shinto religious festivals in the Azuma region, to the South of the present-day Tokyo. It belongs to the secular repertoire, called gekyoku, as opposed to the main repertoire, honkyoku. It is played as a duet of shakuhachi, with an emphasis on its heterophonic aspect.

The pieces of the Watazumi school are intended for the concrete manifestation of philosophy, but there are also pieces whose purpose is merely to be enjoyed.. These pieces are inevitably more musical, but from the perspective of the serious player they are extremely easy. They require no difficult breathing or techniques, and so they are used for relaxation.

Azuma Jishi is the most colorful of the Jishi pieces, and is reminiscent of hayashi, or festival music.

A 1.7 shaku hocchiku that is said to have been the favored instrument of a famous player of old was used for this piece.
