NTS Guide to: Komuso Shakuhachi Flute Music
The Komuso were a sect of non-monastic wandering Buddhist monks who emerged in Edo period Japan, who were famous for their face-obscuring woven straw basket masks called tengai. They also differed from monastic Monks, who chose to meditate in silence, as the Komuso played a bamboo flute called a shakuhachi as a form of meditation.
