Best book on shakuhachi making?
Hello,
I was wondering what the best book on shakuhachi making is. I assume the best would be in Japanese, if not let me know. I think something like that would be good to have around. If you do know what the best book would be, also where it might be purchased would be helpful. Thanks for any help.

理趣経百字の偈
菩薩勝慧者 乃至尽生死 恒作衆生利 而不趣涅槃 般若及方便 智度悉加持 諸法及諸有 一切皆清浄 欲等調世間 令得浄除故
有頂及悪趣 調伏尽諸有 如蓮体本染 不為垢所染 諸欲性亦然 不染利群生 大欲得清浄 大安楽富饒 三界得自在 能作堅固利

Re: Best book on shakuhachi making?
Hey, Chris...
For jiari, I found this one quite informative: http://www.shakuhachi.com/CM-Kudo.html . There is not much in the way of fine tuning the bore in there, but a tremendous amount of other creational info, including harvesting, utaguchi, nakatsuke, ji, straightening, etc.
For details on bore work (and I have not read it yet, but very much plan to), perhaps: http://www.shakuhachi.com/CM-Levenson-WildBore.html .
