Tottori Prefecture

I can check.... I have met a few there but don't have their contacts. I have to ask around.

Tairaku, is your student a "gaijin"?
I know I will be asked so I might as well have the answer ready.
Fair enough, it is a matter of communication.

He is a massive gaijin behemoth who is there to study Taiko I think. He has been there for a while so probably has some verbal skills.

Cool! I will ask

Hi Brian

I finally got an answer about shakuhachi teachers in Tottori. I have not other than this:

＞　１．　岩井氏　　池田家墓所灯籠絵の時に墓所内を尺八を吹いて流して
　　　　　　　　　　　　もらっています。　現在は弟子の人1名指導中との事

Mr. Iwai. I know nothing more than he plays at the annual festival at my grandmother's family grave... which is really big and it is apparently a big event in Tottori. Iwai's son is not being taught shakuhachi.... it doesn't say much.... I know.


＞　２．　本庄氏　　尺八の演奏もＯＫですが、尺八で歌謡曲やジャズの演奏
　　　　　　　　　　　　もできます。　現在は弟子の人2名指導中との事

Mr Honjō. He can - apart from notmal shakuhachi performance also perform jazz and popular songs. And he has 2 sons learning shakuhachi...

It seems Mr. Oki, whom I asked about this, would like your friend to choose and then he will tell us the contact details.
