Hi All,

A brief reminder. Due to my extended time in Japan, the deadline for
applications for the Fourth Annual Tai Hei Shakuhachi Scholarship has
been extended to December 31, 2007.

This scholarship is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend Masuda
Shuho, shakuhachi maker from Kawasaki, Japan who passed away in 2001.
It is called the Masuda Shuho Memorial Scholarship.

Tai Hei Shakuhachi is offering $1,000 scholarship annually to a
deserving person or persons wishing to develop and enhance their
involvement with the shakuhachi and its music. The award will be
presented in whole or part to one or more applicants as additional
donations to the scholarship fund allow. This scholarship is an
effort to encourage and promote interest in shakuhachi and its
traditional music abroad. For this reason, it is limited to players
residing outside of Japan.

The scholarship is not intended for professional players or teachers
of shakuhachi, but for their students and others who aspire to learn
the instrument. All others, regardless of age, gender, nationality,
race, religion or group affiliation, are encouraged to apply.
Applicants who have been bypassed for the award in the years past can
reapply as many times as possible.

Awarding the stipend will take into account financial need as well as
talent and ability of the applicant. Applicants will be asked to
provide some basic information, write a short autobiography and
encouraged to submit letters of recommendation. The name of the
recipient(s) will be announced as soon as possible after the December
15, 2007 deadline for submission.

For more information and to download an application, go to

Last year five scholarships totalling $3,000 were given out. Many
thanks to those who have generously donated so that we were able to
expand this year's awards.

All the best,

Monty & Kayo Levenson
