Dear All,
last week I visited the Shakuhachi shops in Ueno and Asakusa.
As Bruce recently mentioned on this list, the shop in Ueno will be
closing down end of December. When I went there, most music scores
seemed to be already sold out (almost empty shelf), and the remaining
maybe 15 Shakuhachi where reduced 10-20% ... the owner appeared to be
particularly friendly and confirmed the closing down information.
The shop in Asakusa will definitely not close down (because I mixed up
the information my question made the elder lady in the shop really
laughing), and besides a nice collection of Shakuhachi they also sell
bamboo (10000 Yen / piece if I remember correctly).
If you need directions to the shops, please send me a mail so I will
scan the relevant piece of the map for you!
Best wishes,
joerg
