Hi justin,

Let me send you a link to my teacher kiku day's website.
You will find a list of the honkyuku repertoire of her school.
together with quicktime movies of pieces played on different flute sizes..

http://www.kikuday.com/audiosamples.htm

Kiku day studied honkyoku music with okuda atsuya in tokyo for about 10
years
and plays ji-nashi shakuhachi (hochiccu), see explaination on the website.
She is currently in the US but otherwise based in london where I have been
taking lessons from her for a year now (I know, only a drop in the ocean of
time).

Maybe this is a good moment to emphasize the importance to study person to
person.
I think the experience of finding a skilled teacher and to learn directly
from them is going far beyond the goal of learning how to play the
instrument or certain pieces and a most essential part of the shakuhachi
way.
If you don't have a teacher yet, go and find one, no matter how often you
can afford it, take lessons.

To all those who teach shakuhachi here in this list I would like to say
THANK YOU for the hard work, energy dedication, love and great patience you
give us helping to find out own way.

All the best

delmar

Hi Dan
I would like to ask you, and also everyone else, what
repetoire of honkyoku do you play? Kinko? Wtatsumi's
"dokyoku"? Jin Nyodo's lineage?
There is much talk of honkyoku. I wish to know which
honkyoku you all refer to. I wonder if your opinions
would refer to ALL honkyoku, or just the repetoire you
play. I personally find the different lineages quite
different.
 Justin.
