During the same period he recorded an album entitled "Season of the White Flower" for King Records. In 1988 Tani Senzan recorded two CDs "Zen Spirit" and "Evening Snow" to great critical acclaim. Mr. Tani has performed on radio and television and in cultural festivals and concerts across Japan. He also performed in Europe and North America. He passed away on March 19th 2008 at the age of 65. He leaves behind his wife Tazuko and three sons Yasunori, Makoto and Mikio. All three sons play traditional Japanese music. Mikio and Makoto both play koto and are masters of Ikuta -Seiha.
