Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Greetings. a.k.a. Kirsty Beilharz, I am a composer and last year I commenced shakuhachi after the Australia Shakuhachi Festival in Canberra 2006 and a long interest in Japanese music and culture. Last year and this, I have had some lessons in Japan with Kakizakai Sensei. In Sydney I have had lessons with Riley Lee and Bronwyn Kirkpatrick. Currently blowing my way through sweaty summer, I will return to Japan in winter when I hope to compose some new music including shakuhachi. I have some photos and entries on my shakuhachi-blog. Some of my early adventures with shakuhachi include the Rockies camp '06, Hawaii shakuhachi 'n Surf '06 and later this week Bisei '07, the 20th anniversary of the Kenshukan founded by Yokoyama Sensei. I play a Miura 1.8 and 2.1. So we are at the beginning of a long journey.  Gambatte all fellow shakuhachi enthusiasts. (My music can be found at the Australia Music Centre).
