Hi Perry
Are you kidding? Are there really some shakuhachi
makers who harvest urushi? And do all the necessary
processing? That sounds rather unlikely to me, as it
seems to be a very specialist job. If there really are
though, who are they? Could be very interesting to
visit them in harvest season, and see the process.

Justin

Not kidding. Sadao Chinone is one of them. You can contact Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin if you want to meet him.

 Best, Perry
