Ranjo-san's Japanese Flute Making Workshop

The ever-popular “Ranjo-san's Japanese Flute Making Workshop” is back, offering a chance to learn how to hand craft a flute under the instruction of master craftsman Ranjo. You'll carve a piece of bamboo with a small knife to complete the flute in just 2.5 hours. Learn firsthand how Ranjo puts his heart & soul into his flutes, then listen to Kodo’s own Motofumi Yamaguchi make these instruments sing.

Ranjo
