I was interviewed about this Facebook page by a local magazine called “Espresso” which is published by Kumamoto Keizai:

http://espresso-kumakei.com/information/espresso-vol-2/

The new issue with the article about our little community hasn’t come out yet but, in anticipation, I took a look at the magazine’s “back number” (back issues). And, lo and behold, is it not our friend and local shakuhachi virtuouso Jeff Cairns on the cover of the second issue (2008)?

Here’s a page about Jeff but it seems to be rather dated:

Jeff, please add a word or two to this post about your recent activities for your local fans! ;)

By the way, Jeff, your home is looking very nice. ;) Just kidding, of course. That’s the opulent interior of the Honmaru Palace (Honmaru Goten) near the castle – before the quakes, when we could still get in to see it. Still, Jeff, the place suits you. You should have been born a Tono-sama!

P.S. I’ll write again about the Espresso article on Kumamoto International in a week or so.
