For what little it may be worth (remembering I've been playing the =
shakuhachi only two months), after ten or twenty seconds of sustained =
Kan my lip muscles are quite tired. So it apparently does take some =
squeezing of the embouchure to do the job.

Subject: Kan notes
One trick used by flautists to improve their top register is to =
practise whistle tones. These are produced by blowing very softly over =
the embouchure. With a bit of practice it is possible to move between =
the various overtones. They can be played easily on a shakuhachi. Play =
the kan note after hitting the overtone of the kan note you require. It =
should come out with more ease and accuracy.=20
