Orimo Sabu
Shakuhachi

At the age of 20, ORIMO Sabu was profoundly moved at hearing TAKEMITSU Toru’s ‘November Steps’ and the recordings of WATAZUMI Doso. He began harvesting bamboo and making jinashi shakuhachi and performing. He then studied classical honkyoku with OKUDA Atsuya for one year.

His recordings include ‘Ichi-on (Single Tone)’ and ‘Susabu’, both in 2006, the cassette tape album ‘Solo Shakuhachi’ in 2007, the Siwa Records LP ‘Wind Songs’ in 2009, and ‘Kamakura 12 Places’ with Innerside Records in 2012. He also performed at the 2017 Montreaux Film Festival. His performance of ‘Tamuke’ and improvisations were used in the movie ‘Right of Way’, directed by the Benyami Brothers.
