A Blog for Shakuhachi Learners

When I set out on a journey to learn to play the shakuhachi, I decided to keep a journal. The journal soon became the blog: A Shakuhachi Journey.
Some of you from this forum and from the original BBQ forum may have stopped in at the blog now and then to read a few posts. The blog ran for a number of years and then last spring I decided to stop posting. But like the old BBQ having recently risen from its ashes, The Shakuhachi Journey also has reopened.

Once again I am documenting experiences and observations as they relate to the travels of a western shakuhachi student. It is my hope that the blog is a place of interest to other students setting out on their own shakuhachi journey, a place of comfort for those struggling with the challenges of learning to blow the bamboo, and a place of amusement and nostalgia for those whose baby steps are decades in the past.

Please drop by now and then, read a current topic the interests you, poke around in the blog archives, leave a comment or two:
