Willkommen zum Forum. Ich komme gerade von einem langen Aufenthalt im Wald zurück. Ich lebte von Wurst, Bier und Cast Bore Shakuhachi. Ich bin ein Zen Meister.
Viel Spass am Forum.

There are a few shakuhachi teachers in Northern Germany, but how northern and how close to where you are, Spi... I am not sure.
Here is the website of Fritz Nagel in Markt: http://www.shakuhachi.info/index.htm

As far as I know, the Japanese Myoan Taizan-ha player, Ikkei Nobuhisa Hanada is living up in northern Germany. Sorry, I don't know exactly where. You could email Jim Franklin : dr_jim_franklin@t-online.de
he should know.

There should also be a good Iwamoto student in northern Germany. One for the reasons for why I initiated the creation of the European Shakuhachi Society is exactly so we can find each other, help students find teachers and help each other in lots of different ways. Anyway, I forgot the name of the Iwamoto student. But if you email Clive Bell: clive.bell@tesco.net and ask, he should know.

Tell both Jim and Clive, if you email them, that you got their emails from me, please.

Yes, the European Shakuhachi Society did not take the URL: shakuhachi.eu. We actually got our URL the first day the .eu was released, but we felt we did not want to pretend to be everything about shakuhachi in EU. But we were the European shakuhachi society, so even though the URL is slightly more complicated, that is what we are. Please keep an eye with the site as it will change very soon.

Hope any of this helps. There will be smaller local summer schools held around Europe next year, where we will not have a big one with invitees from Japan, because of the World Shakuhachi Festival in Sydney 2008. But these may also come handy for you. I know Jim and Veronique will do joint ones in Germany and France, and Micahel Coxall and I are planning to do one in the UK.

Kiku

That is very cool to know.
So, for local summer schools in Europe during 2008 we have:
Czech Republic, France, Germany and UK (in alphabetic order)! Any more?
Hey, Europe is buzzing with shakuhachi activities. How nice is this???

Hi Tim,

nimm ab und zu eine Stunde, wenn Du es irgendwie einrichten kannst!
Es ist fuer mich recht aufwaendig (finanziell wie zeitlich), Stunden bei Kiku
in London zu nehmen (ich wohne im Westen Englands), aber jede Minute
des Unterrichts ist es wert!

Herzliche Gruesse, udo.

I apologize for posting in German, here is what I had to say in a more
comprehensible language:

"Hi Tim, take a lesson from time to time if there is any way for you to arrange it!
For me, it is an effort (fanancially as well as time-wise) to take lessons with Kiku
in London (I live in the south west of England), but it is worth every minute of
the lesson!"
