I also studied Kinko shakuhachi--from '89 to '92 though, so I may well
have forgotten--with Kurahashi Yoshio, yet don't recall hearing him use
that term. Even with the Kinko ryu you have various kai/sha etc so the
terminology may vary. Being a stickler for such things I'm curious
where you heard or read that. I ask because, grammatically, it doesn't
really make sense. San no u--"u's san"--means the san type, so to
speak, of u, in other words one variation of u. U no san would mean the
u type of the third hole, which, to me at least, is nonsensical.
