Jin Nyodo’s given name was Hisao, and he was born in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture in 1891. At the age of thirteen, he began to learn the shakuhachi under the tutelage of Mori Yōzō and Shintani Rokurō, two older Tsugaru clansmen who played shakuhachi Honkyoku well. After graduating from the First Prefectural Junior High School (now Hirosaki Junior High School), he immediately set out to study in the capital and moved to Tokyo in 1909. He began studies at both Kokugakuin and Senshu Universities but eventually dropped out to pursue his dream of becoming a shakuhachi master. In Tokyo, he began to study under Miura Kindō and Kawase Junsuke I, who were renowned in the shakuhachi world of the Kinko-ryū. For a time he even served as Kawase’s uchi-deshi. In 1913, he opened a dojo in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa, and began his formal teaching career. In 1922, when Waseda University established a traditional Japanese music club, he was invited to become a shakuhachi instructor and moved back to Tokyo to become an instructor of shakuhachi at Tokyo Imperial University, Keio University, Hamamatsu High School of Technology, and others. During the Taisho and Showa periods, Jin Nyodo traveled around the country, visiting the ruins of Buddhist temples and learning the Honkyoku that had been handed down by the elders of the different regions. His teachers included masters from a variety of lineages including Konashi Kinsui, Nagano Kyokuei, Narita Shōei, and Orito Nyogetsu. It was said that his playing reflected the very beginnings of shakuhachi Honkyoku. He also traveled to Korea, Manchuria, Siberia, Mongolia, China, etc. After the war, he went to the U.S. and toured in Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, etc. He returned to Japan and began spreading the concept of the Hōchiku, a simple, natural form of Japanese shakuhachi. His activities in the bamboo world over more than 60 years were remarkable. In this he was encouraged by the directors of the Japan Sankyoku Association as well as the the Shakuhachi Association. He trained more than a hundred excellent young masters. His passing in 1966 was deeply felt within the shakuhachi community.
