treasure. He debuted by solo honkyoku (komuso shakuhachi style) in "tradition
al dance and music by young artists" sponsored by National Theatre (1990).
He has taught in TUFA as a lecturer in 1991,92,95 and 96. He leads a group
"Hyakusennkai" and teaches the members (over 30) besides teaching non-member
students at different places, He is a member of Kinko Shakuhachi Society,
Take-no-kai (graduates from TUFA) and Komuso Kenkyu Kai (a research organization for Komuso and their music).
