Hi Gene,
Kurosawa Kinko I died in 1771. Nakao Tozan I died in 1956. But Sogawa =
Kinya is still alive.
The shape of Kinya-style Utaguchi is almost same as Myoan-style's in =
terms of the shape of the inlay but the position is a bit different. It =
can be known for people who are familiar with shakuhachi.
I hope this is a classic reply for your question.
Cheers, =20

Subject: Kinya utaguchi inlay
Kinya Sogawa devotes some space, on his web site, to describing the =
utaguchi inlay he sometimes uses, and you can see pictures and read =
about it at http://www.fides.dti.ne.jp/~sogawa/englishpage3-1a.html.
And I realize his name is Kinya.
However, concerning the "Kinya" inlay, he writes:
"The utaguchi (mouthpiece) insert is in Kinya-style, based on a style =
predating both Kinko and Tozan styles, combining design and function in =
a way that protects and enhances the beauty of bamboo."
And, if this Kinya style "predates" Kinko and Tozan", it patently is =
not his own design, but that from a very old period of time.
Can anyone tell me about this "Kinya-style" mouthpiece "insert", as he =
calls it?
Was there a truly a Kinya-ryu antecedent to Kinko-ryu? My research =
tells me there was a "Kenya-ryu", but that may be a misspelling?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Gene
