Name of the making dojo: Atelier Chikudo, based in Figeac, France
After 10 years of different bamboo flutes making and shakuhachi since 2009, I decided in 2014 to center my work on just a few instruments in which shakuhachi is the one I am dedicated to.
It’s a long and humble way to learn how to make good shakuhachi; Like the process of harvesting, curing and turning a piece of bamboo into such a rich musical and spiritual instrument.
This is my path : Chikudo – the bamboo way
Selling shakuhachi since: 2009 (making flutes since 2003)
