IMHO....the "best" place is where the student and the teacher share the same
path to a greater understanding. The place of the "way" is only a means to a
desired end. Certainly, it should be a place that is conducive to
concentration and study, but where it is, geographically, matters little.

If I am honored to receive the accurate transmission of shakuhachi from my
teacher, the "best" place for that to occur is wherever we are able to meet
in the quest for that common goal.

Selah.

PS: Colorado is whole lot more affordable for me than Japan (though I long
to travel to Japan just as soon as I can get there!!).
