Jin Nyodo's son (Jin Nyosei- aho also goes by a different Gemei) indeed is,
of course, nearest to his father in terms of blood. He worked for NHK, and
is not necessarily a professional Shakuhachi player. He does have the rights
to his father's notation.

 As Jin Nyodo was not the head of a "line" ,so to speak, but rather one who
collected many, many Honkyoku- he had no "Kokesha", or successor.

BTW, we have been performing for the past 26 years at the Bkln. Botanical
Gdns., here in NYC, a memorial (KENSO-KAI) for Jin Nyodo.
