Learn to play the Japanese Shakuhachi Flute and its history. Shakuhachi is a traditional flute that has a longstanding association with Zen Buddhism in Japan.

Phil Nyokai James has been composing and performing his music for over thirty years. He is a licensed sensei (master) of the traditional Japanese shakuhachi flute. In reviewing Nyokai's solo CD "First Places," composer Stuart Dempster noted that it "provides the listener with spiritual nourishment bordering on the sacred." Nyokai lives in Portland Maine and teaches privately in Boston.
