Hello all,
I saw and played a very nice older shakuhachi today at an antique store. I'm
guessing it was between 60 and 100 yrs. old - big range due to my lack of
knowledge on such matters.
The hanko was really unclear - the burn marks having been almost rubbed off.
What impression I could make out I drew on the attached jpeg.
Does anyone recognize it? The proportions may be a bit off and I may not
have gotten the whole thing.
Any help is appreciated.
Much Thanks,
Duke B.
