This CD of Shakuhachi music is designed to be used as an aid to meditation or relaxation, and therefore has a cyclical structure. It begins with lighter, folk style tunes "Minyo", taking you deeper, more meditative pieces "Honkyoku", returning to lighter pieces towards the end. It ends as it begins with the folk tune "Komoro Bushi", albeit played on a slightly longer Shakuhachi, with a different timbre, to reflect the subtle changes that occur during meditation.
