Participation Fee: CAN$450.00 (this includes homemade breakfast,
lunch and dinner for two days)

On June 16 and 17 of 2007, we will be holding the 3rd Annual Hocchiku
Making Workshop at Bamboo-In lead by maker, Eigoro Murai from Tokyo.
Participants will be trained in all steps of the hocchiku making
process. All tools will be provided as well. This year we will be
expecting a very nice group from various parts of the world. So
please reserve your space soon as the workshop will fill up quickly!
For those who don't have their own bamboo and would like to purchase
raw Japanese madake bamboo blanks to make a flute with, Murai-san
will bring some from his stock in Japan. Please specify length,
thickness, etc. Each piece will cost about $200.00.

Accomodations:

For only those who are serious meditators, the Sunshine Zen Monastery
is open for lodging. You must participate in early morning meditation
and late night meditation in order to lodge there. (A small donation
is appreciated.) For non-meditators, there are camp grounds and B&Bs
close by. Please inform me which type of lodging you prefer and I
will arrange it for you. Contact me for exact prices for camp ground
usage and B&B cost.

SHAKUHACHI ROOTS PILGRIMAGE #4!!!
http://www.bamboo-in.com/about-us/rootstrip.htm

Last year's Shakuhachi Roots Pilgrimage was a mind-body-spirit
blowing experience (pun intended;-)) as all the participants will
attest! We are already planning for the next Shakuhachi Roots
Pilgrimage to Japan this coming November. We will be harvesting
madake in Kumamoto and Nagano, attending the annual Suizenkai at
Meianji, stuyding Kinpu-ryu style shakuhachi with female shakuhachi
master, Sudo sensei on Koya-san, concert at Taro Miura's Seifu-kan,
doing intensives with Taniguchi Yoshinobu, Ishikawa Toshimitsu, and
Kurahashi Yoshio, and of course visit the workshop of master
shakuhachi maker, Yamaguchi Shugetsu. We are also planning on
visiting a monk in Kumamoto who collected several obscure honkyoku
that have never been release outside of Japan. There will also be new
surprises on this trip that will be divulged to participants later.
Those interested in joining this wonderful experience, let me know as
soon as possible as the maximum # of pilgrims for this trip is 8 and
space fills up fast.
