RE: Shakuhachi on Celluloid.
Andre Tarkovsky's film 'Offret' or Sacrifice features a soundtrack
mostly of Watazumido Shuso Sensei's recordings though the film has
nothing to do with Shakuhachi....great film though, it's in Swedish so
you need to get a subtitled copy (I would guess). I rented it in Japan
which was a non starter...Swedish film with Japanese subtitles, very
helpful!

It's not uncommon to see John Neptunes name in the credits for a period
drama here in Japan, they often use Shakuhachi music to help a Samurai
theme in TV dramas here. I rarely watch TV though so I don't really
know what I'm talking about.
Best Regards,
Bill O'Connor.
