Show and tell time, guys, and I've really got something nifty to show =
you.

There is an extraordinarily talented young artist in Japan, named Kouta =
Nishimura, and a man of all seasons, his stage name is Shuten-Douji. As =
he puts it, "my master is REIBO AOKI, and he is my uncle." And Kouta =
studied traditional Japanese art at Tama Art University for six years.

Kouta takes a standard cast ABS plastic shakuhachi, my favorite (of =
which I already own two) he applies one coat of red/black cashew =
lacquer, magnificently paints your choice of word or kanji on the back, =
implants a genuine tiny bird feather on the front of the root system (he =
buys them from a fly-tying store!), then applies five more coats of =
clear cashew lacquer. And it is a masterpiece!

"Hane" is the Japanese word for feather, so his shakuhachi are =
appropriately named "Hane-Yuu."

Total price Y20000 or only $185! Unbelievable.

Plus, while he is working on your hane-Yuu, he posts pictures of its =
progress on his web site for you.

I love the Yuu so much, I have an entire page on my web site about them, =
and if you'll go there and scroll down a little over half way, you'll =
see some great shots of his hane-Yuu, including the one he's currently =
making for me. http://www.shakuhachi.ws/yuu.htm

Let me know if you'd like for me to help you order one.
