Profile:

started playing the kena while he was in his teens. At 21 he started
playing the shakuhachi in the Kinko style. His teacher recognized an
unusual ability to play so he recommended him study with the
master,Yokoyama Katsuya. He graduated from the NHK Traditional Music
Conservatory and is the winner of the prestigious Kumamoto All Japan
Hogaku competition. He has recorded with Yokoyama sensei on his CDs and
videos and is a popular leader of shakuhachi workshops for the
International Shakuhachi Training Center (Kokusai Shakuhachi Kenshukan)
in Tokyo. He has performed extensively in America, Europe, Asia, and
Australia and is a faculty member of the Boulder Colorado summer

Currently he is research fellow at the Tokyo College of Music, full time
