A player of the Ichisekigiri shakuhachi in the late Edo period. He went by the name Isshian Fugaku. His main occupation was a local doctor in Edo. In order to revive the Ichisekigiri shakuhachi, which had almost disappeared at the time, he renamed it Kotake and released many new pieces of his own composition, as well as ensemble pieces with the koto and shamisen, in addition to the repertoire of the Sashida school up until that point. He also added new ideas to the notation method and published many scores and explanatory books. He called himself the 13th head of the Sashida school Ichisekigiri and worked with his disciple Ino Ichiun to popularize the style, so that until around the Tenpo era, it was played by some enthusiasts, but it did not revive and it completely died out after that. <Works> "Itochiku Kokinshu", "Itochiku Onko Daizen", "Take no Nebun", "Itochiku Goshikigai", "Junijoshi Meigiko", "Take no Niohi"

没年：天保年間頃(1830～44)
生年：天明3(1783)
江戸後期の一節切尺八の奏者。一思庵不学と号する。本業は江戸の町医者。当時,ほとんど滅亡していた一節切尺八を再興するために,これを小竹と改称し,それまでの指田流のレパートリーに加え,多くの自作の新曲,箏や三味線との合奏曲を発表した。記譜法にも新しい工夫を加え,多くの楽譜や解説書を著作刊行した。指田流一節切13世宗家を名乗り,門弟の伊能一雲と共に普及に努めたため,天保年間ころまでは一部の好事家に吹かれたが再興は成らず,その後まったく絶えてしまった。<著作>『糸竹古今集』『一節切温故大全』『竹の根分』『糸竹五色貝』『十二調子名義考』『竹の鳰ひ』
