Chikuho Shakuhachi?

Hi All,

Does anyone know when most players stopped making Ji-ari shakuhachi ? I know
some still do today but I assume most do not.

I saw this listing on ebay yesterday:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3233812784&category=4003
(listing closed already, of course)

I'm wondering if Sakai Chikuho I or II could have made this - or was there
another maker with a similar name?

I know famous names are sometimes given to others (from the owners) in
Japan, is it still the case today?

Thanks for humoring me in this history lesson.

Duke.
