KENJI IKEGAMI


池上健二  

 1981年生まれ。熊本県出身。 10代の頃より民族音楽や瞑想音楽に傾倒し、尺八に辿り着く。 

 2004年より古典本曲を善養寺惠介に師事。

 2011年より製管を「泉州尺八工房」三塚幸彦に師事。

その後、師の教えを基に独学で地無し尺八を研究。現代尺八、古管、法竹などあらゆる角度から研究を重ね、これまでにない吹奏感と濃密で有機的な倍音の地無し尺八を生み出す。 

 2018年「池上銘地無し尺八」を立ち上げる。竹材採取から販売まで全て一人で行い、並行して虚無尺八(古典本曲)を軸とした創作や即興演奏も行う。

 

KENJI IKEGAMI

   Born in 1981 in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. From his teenage years, he immersed himself in ethnic and meditative music, eventually discovering the shakuhachi.

   In 2004, he began studying the classical honkyoku repertoire under Zenyoji Keisuke.

 

   In 2011, he studied shakuhachi making under Mitsuka Yukihiko at "Senshu Shakuhachi Workshop." Subsequently, he independently researched jinashi shakuhachi based on his teacher's teachings. He delved into studying modern shakuhachi, antique instruments, and bamboo from various perspectives, ultimately creating a jinashi shakuhachi with an unprecedented playing feel and rich, organic harmonics.

 

   In 2018, I launched "IKEGAMI-JINASHI-SHAKUHACHI". I handle everything myself, from harvesting bamboo to production and sales. Concurrently, I also engage in creative and improvisational performances centered on Komu Shakuhachi (classical honkyoku).
