Four months later\, at a sold-out concert in Shimonoseki\, Japan\, before contemporaries and enthusiasts\, he made his debut to the exacting standards of his father\, Araki Kodo V\n\nFor the next four years he played and instructed extensively in Japan\, both privately and at Keio University\, during which time he was named Baikyoku IV\, setting him in line to continue the family tradition. Upon returning to the United States he continued to play and teach at several prestigious institutions. A panel leader and workshop host at the Seattle Folklife Festival\, Araki has performed every year from 1998 to 2012. He has also performed for the Gates Estate\, Seattle Art Museum\, Seattle Asian Art Museum and at the Japanese Gardens (Seattle and Portland). In 2009\, he was named Araki Kodo VI by his father in a small ceremony in Tokyo.\n\nNamed after Araki Hanzaburo (Kodo II)\, he is the 6th generation to be named a shakuhachi master and the world’s only player to carry that title. His namesake had a profound effect on the art form. One of Araki’s (Kodo II) main accomplishments was an improvement in shakuhachi notation. In classic “honkyoku\,” or solo playing\, there was no need to indicate rhythms and tempos\; ensemble playing required precision and clarity regarding time and speed. Araki (Kodo II) developed a system of notation consisting of katakana characters and a system of dots and lines which indicate rhythm that is in common usage to this day.\nLearn more about Araki Kodo VI.\n
