★　Shakulute Performance！　★

　
On January 31, Monty Levenson invited me to the festival.
I had the distinct honor of being invited to it.
This is the first recognition to the world for the Shakulute.
On the first stage, I play it within eight minutes as well
as the other shakuhachi performers and teachers.
On the second stage, I perform my original musiｃ in the other room f
or seventy-five minutes.
