I’ve been working with Brian Franklin for the past few weeks on creating an article for TheJapanesePage.com and listing his new CD at TheJapanShop.com.

The 尺八 shakuhachi is a Japanese bamboo flute often heard at festivals and recently on TV and film–The Last Samurai, for example.

His article finally went live a few minutes ago here.  And I listed his brand new CD earlier today here.  So I feel pretty good about a days worth of work. 

If you are at all interested in Japanese traditional music, please checkout both the article and the CD.  Brian does much to introduce the instrument to his Western audience.  If you like his work, please consider supporting him by buying his CD or giving him a holler at his website.
