Kiku Day specialises in jinashi shakuhachi; a bamboo flute closely associated with Japanese meditative practice. This solo performance featured traditional and contemporary works for the instrument.

Day shocked and delighted the Holburne attendees, entering the space in the garb of a monk from the fuke sect, playing a traditional piece.

Performing and speaking worldwide, Day is an ethnomusicologist, studying the social and cultural aspects of music in local and global contexts.
