“Sugagaki” refers to a type of patterned, repeating melodic sequence found in older shakuhachi repertoire — simple on the surface, but meditative and absorbing when played continuously. It is often used as a study in breath control, tone stability, and inner rhythm.
For this recording, I played the piece twice and layered the two takes together to create a renkan-style version, where the two lines follow each other in a continuous flow. The overlapping phrases create a soft, cyclic texture that brings out the character of the sugagaki pattern.
