Victor / JVC CD4K-7016 vs. CD4K-7018

[Mark Anderson]

I have this listed on the Asian Quad page
HOZAN YAMAMOTO -
Shakuhachi Mood. Victor CD4K-7016 (CD4) [Japan]

But also have it in my files as CD4K-7018

Checking a list compiled by Nick P. (Quadfirst) he lists

CD4K-7016 Hozan Yamamoto-Shakuhachi Mood

CD4K-7018 K. Miyata- CD-4 Shakuhachi Mood

Then I find a listing on a Japanese record site that lists both artists on CD4K-7016
Victor Labels Psychedelic,Drone Music,Hindi and Bollywood Music,LP and CD Meditations
artist: Hozan Yamamoto / Kohachiro Miyata
title: Shakuhachi Mood / Japanese Folk Songs
label: Victor
catNo: CD4K-7016
format: LP

Looking at the record labels in my files they look very similar

I am hoping someone can help clarify, Is this like a volume 1 and 2?

Looks to me like both flutists are on both albums.
7016 is titled Shakuhachi Mood /Japanese Folk Songs; and we just need to translate the title (after the slash) for 7018.

After inverting the colors and using Convertio and Google translate the text from the LP translates to:

Japanese poetry

日本の詩情

Here is a stereo version on discogs, but I don't see the CD-4 anywhere:

Hello from Kamakura, Japan.

I've never listened to any of these Shakuhachi Mood CD-4 LPs, but judging from what was written, we can recognize them as a series of productions.

CD4K-7016
Hozan Yamamoto - Kohachiro Miyata "CD-4 Shakuhachi Mood/Min-yo in Japan"
Min-yo means Japanese rural traditional (or neo-trad) folk song.

CD4K-7018
Kohachiro Miyata - Hozan Yamamoto "CD-4 Shakuhachi Mood/Shijo in Japan"
Shijo means poetry, but in this case it may be written as Jojoka.
Jojoka means Japanese poetic, nostalgic and approachable folk song.

Hozan Yamamoto (1937-2014) and Kohachiro Miyata (1938) are both talented shakuhachi (bamboo flute) players and composers.
