<P>Hello Tony,</P></DIV>
<P>I would recommend the following books:</P></DIV>
<P>Blasdel, Christopher Yohmei. <I>The Shakuhachi: A manual for learning</I>. Tokyo: Ongaku no tomo sha Corp, 1988.&nbsp; Good translation of historical information written by Kamisangou and also some introductory information on basic shakuhachi blowing techniques and Kinko style notation.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P></FONT><FONT face="MS Sans Serif"></P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>Lee, Riley. "Yearning For The Bell: A study of transmission in the Shakuhachi Honkyoku tradition." Ph.D. diss, University of Sydney, 1992.&nbsp; One of the most comprehensive histories and bibliographies of the shakuhachi tradition written in English.&nbsp; Does not include introductory information on basic blowing techniques, but is an excellent resource.</P>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hello,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Can anyone here explain the meaning of the names Seritsukan and Seisunkan?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I am also looking for a book suggestion for learning about the history and
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;playing of the Shakuhachi. I see many listed on Monty Levinson's website but
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;am not familiar with any of them. I am after the most complete explanation of
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;terms, notation and history of the instrument. Although I only play "by ear"
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;for and make flutes for relaxation I would like to learn more about the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;classical uses of the flute.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Thanks,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Tony
