Masa,

> Who will answer the 5 question Issac asked?

Issac's 5 questions are less questions and more statements of his beliefs.

Only the fifth (Is a shakuhachi that is made using exact sciences,
considered a 'shakuhachi'?) comes close to being a question and it is asking
for a definition.

This is essentially the same type question as asking whether raku is a
certain type of ceramic made in a certain way or whether it is ceramic made
by the Raku family. There's no answer, it's a statement of belief.

Issac seems to be looking for universal statements of belief and definition
and as such is making his positions known.

Hope you have a wonderful vacation.

Nelson
