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
Master flute craftsman Ranjo brings bamboo to life, putting his heart and soul into every blade stroke. With a focused passion for bamboo, he has been creating hand-made instruments for over 30 years. Various flautists act as his teachers, and with their help Ranjo hopes to eventually create "the ultimate flute." He makes flutes for all, from beginners to professional musicians, with the desire to help them achieve the sounds they dream of creating.
