"Toge Hachiri" ("Eight-Mile Pass") was composed by Tanaka Inzan. A very active shakuhachi performer. composer of this century , he applied many Western techniques in his compositions including the use of Western staff notation, one of the first shakuhachi pieces to do so. Although it contains Western musical techniques, the central section has a very free, improvisatory section reminiscent of patterns found in "Tsuru no Sugomori." It is a good example of early attempts to fuse Japanese and Western music.
