Honkyoku (本曲) are the pieces of shakuhachi or hocchiku music played by wandering Japanese Zen monks called Komuso. Komuso played honkyoku for enlightenment and alms as early as the 13th century. There are many ryu, or schools, of honkyoku, each with their style, emphasis, and teaching methods.

Kinko Ryu

In the 18th century, a Komuso named Kinko Kurosawa of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism was commissioned to travel Japan and collect these musical pieces. Although it is commonly thought that the 36 pieces of the Kinko Ryu Honkyoku repotoire were collected and played by Kinko Kurosawa, in fact these pieces as currently played were significantly changed and codified by later generations, including Miura Kindo and others.
