This shakuhachi x DJ performance group is comprised of octagonia, a designer who creates NFT art of ukiyo-e, and Tozan-ryu shakuhachi master Jozan Tobe.

Combining the traditional Japanese shakuhachi with modern digital sounds, they express their unique worldview through a variety of media, including original music and live performances composed solely of percussion rhythms and physical movements, transcending genre and form.

To convey Japan's unique sound and culture to people of all ages and nationalities, they primarily perform at events and distribute music and video works.

 

*In October 2025, the group changed its name from "DEAD COUNT" to "KUUHAK-."
