Kifu Mitsuhashi / Kiyoshi Yamaya - Shakuhachi - Ballads Of The Mountain [Nippon Columbia]

Format: LP in printed sleeve + Obi.

· Highly anticipated vinyl reissue of the album. In 2018, the 7" Japanese Traditional Melodies selected by MURO was released, and in 2021, the Ryukyu, Tsugaru Osorezan, and Komusō no Sekai LPs were successively reissued.
· The album Wamono Groove: Shakuhachi & Koto Jazz Funk ’76 was released by the French label 180g, and the re-evaluation of Kiyoshi Yamaya is now a global phenomenon.

This work marked the beginning of a series of crossovers with min'yō created in the 1970s by Nobuo Hara and Kiyoshi Yamaya, composer and arranger for Sharps and Flats, as well as the debut of one of Japan's leading shakuhachi performers, Kifu Mitsuhashi.
