In this YouTube Short, shakuhachi master Rodrigo Rodríguez performs Miyama Higurashi (深山蜩), a composition by Fukuda Rando.

Composed in 1928, this piece is a representative example of 20th-century virtuoso shakuhachi repertoire. Fukuda Rando’s writing is known for its folk-like, expressive melodies and its deeply melancholic atmosphere.

The title Miyama Higurashi refers to the sound of cicadas heard deep within the mountains, evoking solitude, nature, and the passage of time.
