World Shakuhachi Mentoring Day (WSMD) : Saturday 11th May, 2024

Dear shakuhachi enthusiasts,

The World Shakuhachi Day is based on the spirit of sharing our love for this wonderful instrument. Inspired by this same ‘sharing spirit’, the first ever and very successful World Shakuhachi Mentoring Day took place in October last year and provided an opportunity for more advanced players to share their knowledge with others through a series of one-day online lessons and the chance for participants to take part in lessons and learn new pieces and special techniques in a variety of styles offered free of charge.

World Shakuhachi Mentoring Days (WSMD) are designed to assist advanced students who are on their way to becoming teachers in the near future. To help them in this, and in particular to gain experience in remote teaching, which cannot be avoided in a post-pandemic world, this event will provide the apprentice teachers the chance to design a lesson on a piece in collaboration with their main teacher and deliver it online to participants who register in advance. The previous four apprentice teachers will also feature again in this event in May, but will teach different pieces and will be joined by two new apprentice teachers, this time from the USA. 

For this to happen, we need your help !

Your registration as attendees is what will make this event possible. Each teaching session will be for one hour including a question/comment time slot when you can ask questions and also give feedback to the apprentice teachers on how you perceived the lessons – of course with kindness and constructiveness. 

A panel of established teachers and feedback tutors will also provide feedback in a mentoring process similar to that involved between MA and PhD students in universities.

In the same spirit as the World Shakuhachi Day, all the apprentice teachers, the main teachers, panelists, and the organisers offer their services free of charge.

All you need to do is to register and you will then receive an email with the Zoom connection information and access to the teaching materials and get a free day of classes by aspiring practitioners and performers.

WORLD SHAKUHACHI DAY 2022


October 8 (10.8) is World Shakuhachi Day

English below

今年は、10月8日当日オンラインで12時間の尺八ミーティングを企画    
午前・午後10時8分から、世界一斉に108回のロ (Ro) 吹きを試みます

10月8日は、語呂合わせで「尺八の日」。益々世界に広まっているShakuhachiの魅力と可能性をさらに追求しようと“世界尺八デイ”と定められました。

この日、世界の尺八愛好者が個人・グループで記念となる取り組みをしつつ、統一したテーマの下に、流派、国籍、年齢、経験、プロ・アマ等を超え、尺八基本行であるロ吹きの108回実践を提唱しています。

昨年世界41カ国210名の賛同者で呼びかけたテーマは、「コロナ禍の完全終息を願って!」でした。私達の気合いの入った祈りがロ吹きを通して天に通じたのでしょうか。

さて、今年のテーマは「静寂と平和を願って!」です。
このところの世界情勢が落ち着きません。私たち自身の尺八による心の静寂と平和が世界に繋がりますように、祈りを込めて108回のロ吹きにチャレンジ致しましょう。

さらに今年は、新たな試みとして12時間のOnline Shakuhachi Meetingを企画しました。(詳細は次頁)
午前・午後10時8分(日本時間)から、世界一斉に108回のロ (Ro) 吹きを試みます。
この機会に、世界の尺八仲間との絆を深めましょう。是非ご参加ください。
