Endō Shōfūzan (Endō Yoshihiro) began studying Kinko-ryū Shakuhachi in 1958 at the age of 20 under Kusano Reifū. In 1961, he began working for Toshiba where he entered a Min’yō Shakuhachi club and learned from Mikado Kintō and Yokoyama Buzan. In 1975, he founded his own Min’yō group, Shōfū-kai, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015 and now has nearly 100 members. Endō Shōfūzan has been awarded the highest teaching license from the Japan Folk Song Association but despite being settled as a successful Min’yō Shakuhachi player and teacher, in 1986 he began studying koten honkyoku with Okuda Atsuya. Between 2001 and now, he has been teaching Shakuhachi to middle school students including such Min’yō pieces as Kikiriko-bushi, Sōran-bushi and Esashi Oiwake. Five of his female students who graduated this year achieved the unusual accomplishment of being able to perform both Min’yō and koten honkyoku.
