Thanks for all the replies about packaging shakuhachi for shipment. One
important item was overlooked in the previous note. Always mark the country
of origin as Japan to avoid import taxes. Even if there is no blank space
on your local postal form for country of origin. Write it somewhere on the
shipping label. These taxes can be recovered, which is happening just now,
but it's a hassle and takes a bit of time.
