Aiko's e-mail seemed almost like a haiku. I therefore tweaked it a littl=
e=20
to make it slightly closer to the form:
Beautiful shakuhachi,
Melting summer breath =96
Too bad I can=92t produce a sound
I didn't attempt to follow the 5-7-5 rule because the languages are just =
too=20
different. However, I tried to introduce the season word. I used summer=
=20
because in the earlier e-mail Aiko mentioned "melting in hot D.C." Perha=
ps=20
someone can take my incompetent start and improve it (and teach me in the=
=20
process).

Thank you for the information.
It looks very beautiful. Too bad I can't produce a sound.

Hi all,
I have seen a shakuhachi with a maker stamp "Chikuzan (bamboo=20
mountain). Is it a known maker? Does anyone have experience using a Chiku=
zan=20
Shakuhachi?
Thank you for your attention.

Yes. I have sold CHIKUZAN flutes (not to be confused with CHIKUZEN, th=

teacher of Shugetsu, and Tom Deaver). They are both excellent makers.
