Hi Perry
Are you kidding? Are there really some shakuhachi
makers who harvest urushi? And do all the necessary
processing? That sounds rather unlikely to me, as it
seems to be a very specialist job. If there really are
though, who are they? Could be very interesting to
visit them in harvest season, and see the process.
