Hello everyone,
Just a reminder of the next Bamboo-In production. I will be hosting and
organizing a performance here in Vancouver, BC, Canada for hocchiku
player Hiroyuki Kodama is coming from Japan (Nagano, near Tom Deaver.)
He studied with Okuda Atsuya for many years and harvests his own bamboo
to make hocchiku to play and sell. He will be bringing a number of
pieces to display. After Vancouver he will be going to Chicago, Illinois
for another performance. For more information on that show please
contact Prem at: 773-276-1806.

Hocchiku (=93Dharma Bamboo=94) is a flute made from a single piece of
bamboo. The main purpose of Hocchiku is to train the breath similar to
Zen Buddhist disciplines of breath awareness. Japanese Zen monks were
the only ones to use this instrument traditionally, often in the spirit
of Suizen, or Blowing Zen.=20
Hiroyuki Kodama will perform a solo repetoir called Honkyoku (=93original
pieces=94) which have been passed down from teacher to student largely
within the context of Zen Buddhism since the days of old. Kodama-san
lives within the mountains of Nagano and is one of the few Hocchiku
players in Japan and the world. This is a very rare opportunity to hear
Hocchiku!=A0 Special guests will include local musicians from the
Vancouver area: Takeo Yamashiro, Alcvin Ramos, Rup Sidhu, Andrew Kim,
and Denis Franck.

own specialness. And what you are putting in then is your own Life and
your own Life Force."
