A rare stamped
Jin Nyodo 1.8'. According to his son Jin Nyosei, only a few shakuhachi
bore his hanko. This flute was badly cracked and poorly repaired.
Nearly the entire top half of the instrument was covered with
binding and plaster. Undoing this hasty repair revealed the hidden
hanko.
I 've known
of only three Jin Nyodo shakuhachi outside of Japan. I owned one
of them many years ago. As fate would have it, the other two showed
up for a complete resotoration at the same time!
