Kameya's Thoughts

The Origin of "Kameya"

 The name "Kameya" has its roots in my childhood. This name was used by my ancestors for their business dating back to the Edo period. As a result, the people in the neighborhood affectionately referred to me as "the child of Kameya," which inspired me to carry on this historic name.

Kameya began handling shakuhachi, the traditional Japanese flute, in 2007. Since then, we have been dedicated to sharing the cultural and musical beauty of this traditional instrument with people around the world.

The Healing Effects

 The shakuhachi is more than just a musical instrument—it’s a gateway to the profound elegance of Japanese culture. Its mesmerizing sound is enriched by a unique acoustic property known as "overtones." Overtones are secondary frequencies that resonate alongside the primary tone, and recent studies have revealed their ability to induce alpha brain waves, promoting deep relaxation and tranquility. While overtones exist in everyday sounds and voices, the shakuhachi is particularly rich in these frequencies, making it a highly accessible and exceptional instrument for creating a soothing ambiance. In the midst of the global boom in Zen practices and meditation, the shakuhachi has gained recognition as an instrument that "guides the brain to a state of calm." Celebrated for its role in healing music, it has captivated enthusiasts not only in Japan but across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Canada, and Europe. Whether for meditation, relaxation, or simply exploring its unique sound, the shakuhachi has become a cherished tool for music sessions worldwide, offering a truly transformative experience.
