>From this last letter I understand that it is a tired topic to talk about
why shakuhachi music is such a neglected art in Japan - but I, as a
newcomer, would be very interested in hearing why this is so.
Is it merely because the western, modern flute is just more efficient
at making music, or is the shakuhachi just a victim in a greater
cultural war?
But any student of person above the age of 30 will tell you that
peoples' cultural tastes are very cyclical. One day there will be a
dramatic rennaisance of traditional arts in Japan
