"Every journey begins with a conversation."
Every enquiry is unique, and for that reason I prefer to communicate personally by email rather than through an automated booking system. A conversation allows me to better understand your interests, answer your questions thoughtfully, and recommend the path most appropriate to your aspirations.
chomeishakuhachi@gmail.comI personally read and respond to every email. While my schedule occasionally requires a little patience due to teaching, performances, travel, and instrument making, I make every effort to reply as promptly as possible.
Prefer to write here instead? Share a few details below and I will reply personally by email.
Every enquiry is unique — and every enquiry is welcome.
Questions regarding handcrafted Chōmei Ji-Nashi Shakuhachi, instrument availability, selecting the most suitable instrument, or learning more about the philosophy behind my approach to instrument making. Whether you are purchasing your very first shakuhachi or adding another companion to an established practice, I will be happy to guide you through the selection process.
Private lessons, online instruction, workshops, traditional study, and formal licensing within the Chikumeisha Kinko-ryū and Watazumidō traditions. Whether you are taking your very first breath through bamboo or continuing a journey already begun, I look forward to accompanying you on that journey.
Concerts, cultural presentations, lecture demonstrations, educational programmes, festivals, museums, embassies, universities, corporate events, wellness programmes, and private engagements. Every performance and workshop is thoughtfully designed to suit the audience, the venue, and the purpose of the event.
Media interviews. Collaborative projects. Educational initiatives. Cultural exchange programmes. Or simply a question you would like to ask. Every enquiry is welcome.
If your enquiry concerns a performance, workshop, lecture demonstration, or cultural programme, you are welcome to download the Event Information Form below. Completing the form before contacting me is entirely optional, but it provides many of the details needed to prepare an appropriate proposal for your event and helps ensure that our initial conversation is as productive as possible.
Throughout my life I have been fortunate to learn from remarkable teachers, generous craftsmen, dedicated martial artists, gifted musicians, and countless students whose questions have continued to shape my own understanding.
Whether our paths meet through an instrument, a lesson, a performance, or simply an exchange of ideas, I sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
"May our conversation begin with curiosity, continue with understanding, and perhaps become another small step in the lifelong pursuit of harmony."
Follow along for performances, new instruments, and behind-the-scenes craftsmanship.
