Subject: "hane-Yuu"
Show and tell time, guys, and I've really got something nifty to show you.
There is an extraordinarily talented young artist in Japan, named Kouta
Nishimura, and a man of all seasons, his stage name is Shuten-Douji. As he
puts it, "my master is REIBO AOKI, and he is my uncle." And Kouta studied
traditional Japanese art at Tama Art University for six years.
Kouta takes a standard cast ABS plastic shakuhachi, my favorite (of which I
already own two) he applies one coat of red/black cashew lacquer,
magnificently paints your choice of word or kanji on the back, implants a
genuine tiny bird feather on the front of the root system (he buys them from
a fly-tying store!), then applies five more coats of clear cashew lacquer.
And it is a masterpiece!
"Hane" is the Japanese word for feather, so his shakuhachi are appropriately
named "Hane-Yuu."
Total price Y20000 or only $185! Unbelievable.
Plus, while he is working on your hane-Yuu, he posts pictures of its
progress on his web site for you.
I love the Yuu so much, I have an entire page on my web site about them, and
if you'll go there and scroll down a little over half way, you'll see some
great shots of his hane-Yuu, including the one he's currently making for me.

Let me know if you'd like for me to help you order one.
