To everyone,
If urushi causes such a horrible reaction, how do full time shakuhachi
makers deal with it? What precautions do they take to prevent these
reactions and how do they deal with it if/when they do get a rash? I can't
imagine having to live your life with these allergic rashes going on
continually for your life due to making shakuhachi?
And, finally, why continue to use a caustic substance anyway? Are there no
viable substitutes that are not as caustic?
